Mike:

My tip rivet line is the same line as the rib rivets are on. Seems to
me there was enough room to accommodate both without too much trouble.
For the strobe access hatches, I used a couple of the float accesss
covers from Montana floats.

Hi guys: When I finished Rebel 652, I attached all tips and fairings with
stainless steel sheet metal screws and flat washers with a drop of blue
loc-tight (removable). In the three years I flew it (before selling -
"sniff") I never had one screw come loose and was obviously removing all
fairing screws once a year for my annual. This was a very cost effective
method (read cheap) and allows you to put in as manny as you would have
rivets with an easy removal when necessary. Just my 2c worth. Bob Johnson.
