Which 4" yoke for wings

I miss ordered a 4" yoke, thinking I was getting the no-hole yoke, by buying the normal 4" with a rivet set hole. I have the longeron yoke and like many other builders have suggested was hoping the no-hole could reach those far away rivets like on the elevator aft rib-to-skin, plus the little room very trailing edge rivets. I know my new 4" normal yoke will reach the far away rivets, BUT, is it worth returing and re-ordering to have it be a no hole yoke? I have a normal 1 1/2" yoke ground down to reach trailing edge rivets.

Quick suggestion is yes, exchange it. They are too expensive! The 4-in no hole yoke (in combination with the normal 3" and longeron) are all that you should need. The only time the regular 4in would be helpful is if you had to redimple a hole after parts were already riveted together. Won't happen enough to make it worth it in my opinion. Good luck.
