Way back when I did my part fabrication I misdrilled the line of rivet holes at an incorrect distance. I subsequently drilled the correct holes at the correct distance, verified they were adequately spaced apart and didn't think too much more about it.
After riveting yesterday I kind of realized this may compromise the strength of the structure.
Vans Support says they don't have any specific information on the load for that part, just that their testing assumes it's installed but they recommended to replace.
I've ordered a new angle, but would like to get some opinions from the community on whether to replace or not. .
