What rivets are used to attach the -7/7A aileron gap fairing to the rear spar?

I must be missing something in plain sight. Van?s says to ?Drill the W-724 aileron gap fairing (DWG13A) to the rear spar. Drill, deburr, and dimple where required and rivet the W-724 aileron gap fairing to the rear spar.?

DWG 13A, however, does not provide those rivet callouts. While the fairing is identifiable in 13A it is not labeled.

W-724 is labeled on DWG 10A, but there are no rivet callouts. The best I can do is on DWG 12?it appears the fairing is attached to the top wing skin with 3-3.5 countersunk rivets, but what rivets are used to attach the fairing to the rear spar?

Check dwg. 10A.
I can't really tell from the (small) legend of my preview plans, but looks like some are some are 470 rivets and some 426.

I wasn't sure either. Will check with Vans on Monday. Was hoping to get it done this weekend.
Thanks for your response.
