Andy:
Let me tell you that when you finally get to play with your aluminium bits, the paperwork and Boeing-standard documentation will be a long way from your mind!
How to get that damned rivet set correctly will be a more immediate concern.
With respect NO! I can set the rivet correctly, but how do I convince CASA that:
(1) It is a rivet.
(2) A real live aviation rivet of the right size and characteristics.
(3) Its in the right place, according to the plans.
(4) The rivet gauge i use is a real rivet gauge.
(5) The spec. I measure against is the appropriate spec.
(6) My measurement is kosher.
I don't mean to be a pedant, but maybe it's because I once worked for an ex Air Force engineer. Then again there was our delightful but paranoid Chief Inspector at Ansett.
