As for today, we have started to rivet using A6 Rivet to the 75F4-4 (Rear Wing Attachment), 75F4-1 (Side Channel) and 75F3-6 (Top Channel). As you can see in the photo, we have inserted the A6 Rivets while some of the holes are fastened by cleco. A pneumatic riveter was used to rivet the A6 riveter with a 70 psi
