I procured the a rivet cutter. I cut about 24 5-12 rivets to approxiamtely 5-11s. I started pounding them into the lower angle. The frist 3 or 4 I pounded with the hammer and bolt, but then decided to try the rivet gun. I used the shop head hammer set in a similar fashion as the hammer and bolt. I finished pounding all but 4 of the rivets (where the draw clecos were). I messed one new rivet up, for a total of 4 known bad rivets on this part.
