Today a new fuel selector from Vans arrived, as well as a new thin tungsten bucking bar from Amazon. The fuel selector I had just isn't going to work in the tight space I have so I purchased the proper fuel selector from Vans that have the integral -6 flared fittings (#FS 20X7T).
I needed a thin bucking bar to get the forward rivets in the F-721B aft canopy deck. Searching around Amazon had a 0.38"x0.75"x6" tungsten bucking bar from Midwest Tungsten service. It turns out that this bar is the perfect size to get into the aft canopy deck area. I taped on some Popsicle sticks to help get the bar to clear the longeron, and then I could easily set most of the forward rivets. There's just a couple pesky ones I need to set.
