When starting to assembe my VS forward spar assembly I bungled one of the forward spar (VS702) to VS706 tip rib rivets. There are two 1/8" rivets in that location. I somehow did not have the material tightly together when I squeezed it and the rivet enlarged the hole as I squeezed--then, drilling it out, I probably did a poor job and enlarged it even more. Long story short, I've got an enlarged hole (again 1 of the 2 rivets that hold the 702 to the 706). Since the rivet call-outs were for 1/8 in rivets originally, what do I do now? (The kit doesn't come with any 5/32 rivets to go the next size larger--and I'm not sure I have anything to squeeze them with even if it did!).
In any case, this makes my first mis-set rivet that has required one of the infamous "oops" rivets.
Any suggestions?
