RH wing upper OB skin riveting 1 + bits & pieces

-Primed then drilled & attempted riveting W-808 Aileron pushrod however as with many others I couldn’t get satisfactory rivets & due to expansion inside the pipe can’t remove the unsatisfactory rivets so looking into getting replacement pipe, cutting the rod ends out and getting them welded on

 

-Cut the spare fuel tank access panel in half-ish and clecoed on to LH fuel tank to use as a template for the float type fuel sensor, drilled holes, now just need to source a hole saw to cut the hole out.

-Started to rivet the OB upper wing skin in place however I was getting many unsatisfactory rivets so called it for the day
