Ken, not sure what double row of rivets you are talking about! I did forget
in my e-mail to Allister yesterday, that I build every aircraft, no matter
what engine goes on, with a double "stagered" row of rivets up the door
post. If you are talking about the line of rivets going around the perimeter
of the firewall, this firewall was done by the previous owner with a sheet
of stainless riveted over top of the original aluminum. And YES you are
right this aircraft and its Mods are like Lays Potato Chips!(you can't have
just one) In my case thats true for both the Mods and the number of Rebels!
My #1 personal Rebel has aluminum flaperons(counter balanced), flaps on the
floor(totally mechanically linked to get rid of the play and flex of
teleflex cable), 4 fully adjustable seats, etc. etc. etc. Over time though,
most of these novelties wear off and you will wish you had of just built it
by the book and been enjoying the flight characteristics of the craft, that
much sooner. If I may be Bold, one mod I absolutely hate is Electric Flaps!
Couldn't stand them in a newer model Cessna, can't stand them in a Rebel. No
two landings are ever the same with electric flaps because you can't get the
same position at the swing of a lever! This is the main reason 185 Cessna's
are the prefered Cessna on floats, because of their manual flaps! Sorry if I
offended anyone with this mod already completed, but I watch a gentleman
with this Mod in his Rebel, spend most of his flight time playing with his
Electric flap switch, trying to get them in the right place!(and not flying
the aircraft!)

Uuuh just to prove someone is paying attention - that double rivet row
would be
another mod I presume. Two rows of rivets along the bottom of the doubler ?
It's a pandora's box. Bet you can't just make ONE mod. Now we're having fun
eh!
