Chery Max 3212 Alternative

[pnh2atl]

It looks like the factory that made the Chery Max 3212 burned last year. I’m building a 5 and I’m riveting the lower skin on. There are a couple spots that the manual suggests the 3212 because you can’t get a bucking bar in there. Anyone have a suggestion for an alternative?

Thanks, Nick

The CR3242 would work. Its just slightly oversized.

If those rivets are supposed to be 3/32, the MK319BS rivet is considered by Vans to be equivalent

Mark I ran my aux fuel tank lines a little to close to the lower wing skin. Two spots that have fittings I can’t get a bucking bar into. They both required 4-4 rivets. I did use the MK319BS in the couple spots that I couldn’t get th that used 3-3.5 rivets.
