Match drilling and riveting the stringers onto the top right hand top skin between web 2 and web 3. cheating a bit. The channels should run the full length. Have decided to only run them up to Sta 57 as these can be seen when the fuel tank cover is off and in the wheel wells.

Currently my last 1mm countersunk rivet, unless there are a few on the ground that I haven't found yet.

Took delivery of some much needed rivets today. Quality is not as good as the usual source, but at 1/20 of the price, beggers can't be choosers. Enough to finish NZ3220 (13,000 ` 15,000) and some spares to start the next project.

....or a B.36..........runs away............ My thoughts exactly! Spare a thought for the poor bloke who had to count the rivets and bag them up!

I would not worry too much about counting, they will probably simply weigh them, then weigh a single rivet and complete a simple sum. Close enough!

Even simpler than weighing. Dial in a number and the machine will cycle until it hits the zero or the number required.

But first you need to seperate them into left and right handed rivets.

Then there is top rivets and bottom rivets, not to mention side rivets.
