Mistake in -10 plans?

I am working on the baffles and was about to rivet the Oil cooler brace (Page FF2-18, step 4) when I noticed the call out for nine AN426AD3-3.5 rivets. Problem is, there are no dimples or countersinks called out prior!

I would like to go ahead and use AN470AD3-4 rivets instead...but does anyone know if that will interfere with anything else? Is this a mistaken call out or did I miss something? For reference to the manual, see the link below:

I dimple and use the called out rivets, flush on the aft side. Makes the scat tube flange and plug wire seals sit flush. Also easier to rivet IMHO.
 
Thanks Jesse

Maybe I missed any mention of dimpling in the plans and now, the task would be challenging. A 470 rivet wouldn't interfere with anything as far as I can tell, so I think I'll go rogue and veer from the plans :eek:

I appreciate the input though.
