I have two adjacent top left main spar doubler rivets that are beyond milspec.
The first one is .055D and the second is .0625D with spec being .075-.105.
Their location is the 2nd and 3rd rivets outboard of the machined step where the doubler is thinnest.
I sent Vans the pictures and they say they only experience shear loads and to leave as it.
I do not feel content with these rivets. If I were to replace these 3/16 rivets would a 3x gun get the job done?
Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
