What kind of rivets did you guys use when attaching the leading edge of the wing to the main spar?

Page 17-4 has the callouts. I used LP4-3s everywhere except the end ribs, which got the solid rivets. I didn't try to put solid rivets on the next to last outboard rib; the gun would be working too close to the main rib for my comfort. The skin rivets are AN426AD 3-4s. Perhaps I don't understand the question...
Leading edge rib to spar rivets
I to followed the pland I used solid an where i could reach IE end ribs and lp=4=3 on the rest.
I do agree the call out in the pkans had to be read closely buy they all worked out great.
Just completed that step a few weeks ago.
Now on to fuel tanks.

That's what I wanted to know. I was just curious as to how many people used LP4's. I have not used any cherry max rivets in my build yet, but if anyone was using them to attach the leading edge I was going to look into buying some of those instead of the LP4's.
