"Worse yet, the rivets are -4, not -3.  In other words, the holes are already drilled out with a #30 bit."

  

 I haven't crossed this bridge yet, but what about the OOPS rivets?  Countersunk head, #30 shaft, a possibility?  Maybe the drilled out hole would be too big, but it might be  worth trying it on one rivet to see how it looks.  My one question: are the countersinks for #30 as well?

I have some oops rivets.  I'm just nervous  about drilling out the -4's and making the hole too big.

		   If I'm you I will leave as it is,you will have plenty of time to re do the rudder,any way you can't go 200 mph in the testing time,after is all done and you flying ,order another one and build it.thats probably one of the low cost parts in the plane,and the easiest to replace.

My opinion

Tip du  jour:

  

 Avery  have a Universal Head rivet removal tool (Part # 40053).  I received mine a  few weeks ago and have used it to remove only a handful of rivets so far.   Although fairly pricey (at) $75, I reckon it's invaluable.  Builders  starting out will find setting 1/8" universal head rivets hard enough, removing  them without enlarging or totally destroying the hole can be even harder.   This tool perfectly centres the drill bit and sets the correct drill depth, the  head snaps off easily, and with a little backing support the rivet shank drives  out with a punch.  The result is a hole that is as good as the original,  enlarged only by the expansion of the rivet when first set.

  

 If you  have a large number of universal head rivets to remove, like perhaps on your  trailing edge, or frequently remove dud uni head rivets, this tool is a  godsend.

  

 cheers,

 Ron
