Regarding the horn brace for a 7a rudder. Squeezed 3 universal rivets (flange) with the squeezer not perpendicular resulting in 3 shop heads which are oval shape. I have been proud of my rivets so far. Any how...the Tech councilor said to drill em out but Vans said to "build on." I've drilled out rivets before but gotta to admit haven't nailed down the technique to 90% success and I've seen so many ugly holes on the web resulting from drilling out rivets that went bad. I figure they may not be pretty but according to Vans they are sound. I am leaning on just leaving them. Any opinions appreciated.
