Somehow in match drilling the left rear spar to the  wing ribs I got two extra holes in the trailing edge flange (flange that rivets  to the rear spar) of the #'s 3 and 4 ribs.  They are holes that were there  originally if I remember right.  However, the holes that I match drilled to  the rear spar were a little bit further from center than the original  holes.  Pictures are attached.  Anyhow, if it's a mistake it's already  made.  How do I fix it or should I go on and not worry about it.  If I  drill the holes to the rear spar and rivet them I think it will be too close to  the W-1007B rear spar reinforcement fork (it's going to be right on the  edge).

  

 Thanks,  

 Bill

Van's keep production cheaper by making all of the  ribs the same.  Those extra holes are just not used.  It is the  difference between the regular rib holes and the gap seal holes(I believe, it's  been a month since I did that.)
