[QUOTE="JonM, post: 517620, member: 36224"] Is there a way to pull everything together from the outside of the hull before riveting on the patch? My concern is when I drill out these rivets holding the ribs to the hull, the ribs will separate and create a gap. Will the rivets pull everything together? There's also an indentation in the hull where the rivets are, should I lightly hammer the patch to take the shape of the hull/indentation before I start riveting? Thanks [/QUOTE]
