Wing Skin Overlap Rivets

[DesertBearhawk]

Guys, as I work to get my skins fitted I am thinking about the overlaps. The plans call for #4 rivets at the overlaps. My question is the the overlaps at the nose ribs. I am concerned about being able to buck the #4 rivets up in the nose rib area. Takes some hammering to get them to set in the first place, Im worried about having the bar slip and damaging my skin. If I was to double row #3's on the nose rib would that suffice?

What have you guys done, what is your experience?

Thanks!

Dave, I don't what to be that guy, but that sounds like a Bob question. He seems to "over engineer" key areas but run minimums in others. You might want to give him a call on that change before you do it. Let us know what you find out.
