Fitting body panels - Riveting

Riveted the LH tunnel side and the LH bulkhead panel. I wasn't sure how much silicone sealant to use but the natural rate it came out of the nozzle seemed to be about right with a tiny amount being squeezed out of the edge. Luckily I recruited a couple of friends to help as after a few rivets your hands get sore.

Below is Martin demonstrating how much force is needed to pull the rivet:


and here is the finished panel:




Also drilled and riveted the passenger bulkhead:
