I'm finishing up on the elevators, realized though I may have a problem that i need to fix. When drilling the counterweights, despite my best efforts with a drill press, the holes managed to intercept the counterbalance ribs not quite dead in the center. This in turn means the washer/nut won't lay completely on the flat part of the rib flange.
Do i start over on these parts?
Another questionable situation is some slight bowing of the trailing edge skin where the stiffeners lay. I've tried to take a picture of it here. The actual bump is pretty small, but its noticeable. Again, what are the thoughts on this situation:

Hoping this doesn't mean I get to reorder parts! Thanks everyone.
