The rivets called out in the plans for attaching the forward flange of the ribs to the spar are too long by quite a bit (see attached picture). Is this the same for all the wing kits? The last three ribs call for AN-470AD-4-5 and all the other ribs call for 4-7. The next size down is way too short.

I was told to never have a rivet too long because they could fold over. It is better to be short.
You can buy the AN470AD4-5.5 from aircraft spruce, but 4-6.5.
Any thoughts? Or am I just over thinking things again. I do have a rivet cutter, so I can cut them down.
