Hello Doug
Missed you for breakfast this morning but, had breakfast with Ken and Ted.
As far as being illustrious,-  I have alway thought of you as being
distinguished,
renowned and eminent.  Regarding closure of structures, there is no doubt in
my
mind that any inspector would or want to to see inside of a constructed
componet.
The question being how much does a person close?  What is the standard?
The part left unriveted, is actually the part the inspector should see
completed.
This part is usually the most difficult to do and if there is going to be
any bad rivets
thats where you will find them!  It would simplify the situation if the kit
builder totally
completed the flight component in the jig...... and the MD-RA just equiped
the
 inspectors with bore scopes.  That would permit the inspectors to see
through holes
as small as 0.250 inches.
I hope you enjoyed your trip to Vancouver, talk to you soon
