Missing RV-10 wing spare rivet(s)

Completed my tops skin on the right wing and noticed that one of the spar rivets was missing. Did not notice this before. Has anyone else received an RV-10 wing spar with this missing rivet? This pictrure is of the right wing between rib 4 and 5 from the inboard.

Mine had all the rivets, but I do remember someone over on Yahoo saying that they had the same problem. I believe Vans had told them to either put a rivet or a bolt in there. Maybe they'll chime in.

There was a missing rivet one of my -9 wing spars, too. There were witness marks where it was drilled out. I installed a new rivet using a 4x gun and a heavy bucking bar.
