Riveted HS710 & HS714 to the HS702 Fwd Spars - Clecoed HS710 & HS714 to the HS702 spars. You can probably see it in this picture, but I felt the countersunk holes in the center of HS710 and HS714 were not deep enough.

Riveted HS710 & HS714 to the HS702 Fwd Spars - A shot of the shop head. Make sure if you do this to hold the back rivet set up against the vertical part of the angle because the rivets are out near the edge of the set and it will walk on you. I used my left thumb to hold the set while I shot them with the right.
