Rivet or Not? What would you do? F-1203G-R

[GVilleFlyer]

First- time builder needs help with the plans.
Attached please see page 23iS/U-05. At the base of F-1203G-R there are 2 rivet holes. The plans call out the 8 rivets above it, but is silent on these 2 holes. Often they call out places to NOT rivet, but not here. Do I rivet these 2 holes? I looked ahead and didn't find any place where they come back to fill these 2 holes.

Thanks!

I don't recall those two particular rivets. However, elsewhere in that diagram, they do call out "LP4-3 Typ. this figure unless otherwise called out". The 8 rivets you mention are called out as LP4-5. If the remaining two rivets don't go through as much material and an LP4-3 would be the appropriate size, my guess is they should be riveted with LP4-3.

Thanks! That was my inclination, but they would be extremely difficult to drill out!

I think the 8 places you refer too we’re left open in 21iS/U-14. You’re going through a lot of metal in those spots. Everything else was a 4-3 (except the solid rivets) around there.
