I thought I would make it through the whole plane without doing this...I was wrong. Already sent the pictures and my idea for a fix to Van's to see what they think. Just thought I would share to brighten someones day up.
The new hole is just forward of the line of rivets that attach the bottom forward skin to the center bottom skin and spar carry through.
My idea to fix is:
Drill out the area #30 removing most of the dimple
Flatten the remaining dimple with a flat set so that the skins can be mated without interference
Match drill the spar carry through #30 and center bottom skin #30
Countersink the center bottom skin and spar carry through #30
Re dimple the F-1483-L #30
Rivet with a AN426AD4-4.5
