I just started the emp kit. Instruction one says to match drill all 1/8 holes on front spars (HS 902) and doubler (HS 907).
Right ABOVE where each of the attach angle brackets are to be placed, I have two holes that are prepunched in the doubler, but not on the spars. I know I am not supposed to drill through the bracket positioning holes (which are also prepunched on the doubler, but not the spar), but should I go ahead and drill through the spar where the two pre-existing holes are in the doubler ABOVE the angles. These holes are going to take the same size rivets as the adjacent ones, so it seems like I should go ahead and drill through the spar, but are the spar holes not pre-drilled for a reason? Did others' kits leave these two spar holes on each side unpunched as well?
Help PLEASE.
Thanks,
Steve
