Oops rivet for an LP4-3

So I had to drill out some rivets attaching baggage floor F-1224-L to a rib, and I did make one hole oversized - too big for an LP4-3. A 5/32 rivet would be perfect.

One 5/32 I've seen is the Cherry MSP-54. What do you guys think? I'd hate to have to bit the bullet and order a new baggage floor b/c that means a lot more drilling out of rivets.

Especially at that location, I wouldn't think it could be a problem. It's never a bad idea to contact the Mothership with such things.

Nobody ever built a perfect airplane. I built 4 imperfect ones that still allowed me to make the miracle of flight and defy death!😜
 
Maybe easier to make two new holes/rivets on both sides of the enlarged hole (after approval from Van's).
