Tip for backrivet tables

Post by cjensen »

here's a tip for your backrivet tables. this idea may have come up already. i didn't go through the threads to find something like this. take a look at the first pic.

Image

see the hole about the size of an AN4263-3 head? well, that's what made it. i missed the backrivet plate, and drove it right into the table. no damage done to the skin or stiffener, so i just reinstalled it, and moved on. but, before i did, i decided to mark the edges of the plate so as to be seen with a large piece of metal covering it up.

Image

these marks tell me where the edge of my plate is now. wish i would've done this first! :bang:

That is a really great tip. I'm going to go put index lines on my table this afternoon.
