New builder here who's been learning tons from this group. Today I got in a hurry and blew it with my unibit. Not sure what to do.
On Pg 10-3 step 5 I drilled one of my holes to 11/16 instead of 5/8 on accident. I can't figure out the purpose of the holes. Is it where the rudder cable will pas through and if so is being a little oversized critical? Not sure if I should replase the bulkhead or not.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Welcome!
You made it further than I did before I blew it! Here's what your
options are:
1. Order a new part from Van's (Mostly depends on how you'll 'feel'
about it)
2. Email Van's to confirm that it won't be a big deal (use a larger snap
bushing). I always get confirmation from Van's if I need to
modify/repair a part.
3. Take a scrap piece of aluminum, and rivet a 'patch' over the hole,
then use the unibit to make then enlarge a hole in the center to the
right size.
The part's cheap, so if it were myself, I'd just hang it up on the "Wall
of fame" and order a new one. There's plenty to do while waiting for
shipping.

If you mean the 5/8" holes for the rudder cables to pass through,
I think I'd just try to find the next size snap bushing. You
could ask Van's...(be emotionally prepared first.  )
But I doubt that particular hole is that big of a deal. Like
Jim said, you could always patch it, but it's just a hole for
the cable to pass through from as far as I can remember.
