[VAC] Re: Advice needed replacing skin
Jeff,
FWIW
I followed Garnett's advice and I'd like to add one thing. Sometimes
it pays to leave the last edge of your sheet that you intend to rivet a
little bit longer than the original. The reason for this is you may
find that unless you can get your sheet exactly in the same place
and as tight as the original you will run out of surface area to rivet
on the last edge. To avoid this dilemma if it is left long you can
always trim the last bit but you sure can't add.
Good luck and I hope my description doesn't confuse you.
