Like building the outboard mixer box itself, installing it into the rear spar was relatively straightforward. It involved being very careful about which rivets were installed into which holes, since the structures had multiple pieces of varying thicknesses. There were a lot of rivets that had to be driven, including some where it is really difficult to get your hand in place with the bucking bar! I'm very glad I spent the money on the tungsten bar -- its small size came in handy for just this occasion. I suspect I will never need another bar that doesn't have a unique shape/size. (There are bucking bars for sale specifically for doing some hard to reach rivets in the tail cone of the RV-14.)
I took a picture, but it's not worth publishing because it looks just like the last one of the rear spar & ribs.
