Another stupid mistake that may cost me a third VS rear spar assembly and a lot of valuable time!
All the rivets in the lower part of the rear spar should be flush rivets. Mindlessly I dimpled, counter sunk and flush riveted only the 10 rivets connecting the 410 hinge brackets. The remaining I just installed universal head rivets. You can see that very clearly in the spar assembly to the left and top.
Can I just drill out the rivets and then counter sink the attached spar and doubler?
Or should I just use the old assembly with bad rivets on the 410 brackets and deformed spar flanges (right and low assembly in the picture)
I really don't want to do this for third time
