With the mirror like reflection of aluminum and, getting used to needing reading glasses to see any darn thing I'm doing up close, I managed to botch one of the rear pulled rivets on the right elevator 2nd inboard rib. It needed to be drilled out, and I knew going in, because of the tight quarters and given difficulty of removing pulled rivets, that I'd likely dork it up. Well, I didn't disappoint, I dork'ed it up quite nicely. So I have two questions please. 1) What should I do about the existing hole? Debur the edges (with a scotchbrite pad) or upsize the hole? 2) If there is enough edge distance can I just drill a new hole, or will I need some sort of doubler now? As always, thanks for any advice.
