I am now clecoing my ribs to the spars for match drilling. I'm wondering if I should also match drill the holes in the top and bottom tabs of the ribs? (see pic)
If I match drill these now, they won't be match drilled together with the skins. But the ribs are suppose the be riveted to the spar now. So if I rivet the ribs to the spar, I won't be able to debur the holes in the tabs once I match drill them with the skins.
So I'm assuming I need to drill these now, and then debur them when I take the ribs back off to debur all the holes. Then, later when I put on the skins, I'll have to drill out the skins but the spar and rib will already be final size.
Does any of that make sense?![Big grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
