DWG 15-05: #6 Rib W1208-R Un-Modified?

Hi RVators,

On RV12 DWG 15-05 my highlighted number #6 rib W1208-R Un-Modified, the rear rib to L-spar attach flange holes don?t align with the spar holes.

All of the rest of the ribs fit fine...

Anybody else had the same problem?

Hi Gents,

Vans got back to me...
They say as long as the rib aligns for the skin, and the front of the ribs align...which it does, I should match drill this small miss-alignment through the back of the spar elongating the rib holes slightly. Then If I feel I need more I can drill a set of new holes through the spar centered between the current miss-aligned holes, and fit extra set of rivets.
