Just when I thought all was going well I discovered that I drilled some extra rivet holes in the F-711B bulkhead flange of my -7A. .
So, I am asking for the opinion of the collective knowledge of my fellow builders here, is this recoverable without ordering new parts? Would a backer plate the width of the F-711B flange be an acceptable repair since the edge distance does not appear to be an issue and the F-711A appears to be ok?
Would NAS 1097-4 OOPS rivets be an option here?
Or is replacement F-711 bulkhead the best route?
Any and all feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
