Either I have read and misunderstood the instructions or there is an
error. On 6-W-8B, page 4 of the instructions say:
"NOTE: the width of the nose rib flange tapers to a small 4mm flange
at the front, the first hole is at 30mm from the spar rivet line, the
last hole is approximately 315mm from the spar rivet line."
I didn't double-check with print 6-W-8 first which clearly shows the
first rivet at 35mm from the spar rivet line. So now I have two #40
holes drilled in my leading edge skin that I can't possibly put a
rivet into. Thankfully I noticed what was happening before going on.
30mm puts you right on the edge of the spar. Is it ok to leave these
two just open?

Steve,
It would probably be OK to leave them open, but if I were doing it I would
at least put a rivet in each one. Actually I have done this some time back
on another project. I dimpled the rivet and the hole and put some filler
over the dent for cosmetic reasons only.

There isn't room to put in a rivet. 30mm is right on the edge of the
spar. If I drill the hole out big enough to take an A4 rivet, the
edge of the spar will show through the hole.

The prints are the bible. I always check the ZENITH AIRCRAFT
BUILDERS PAGES to see if there are any updates before moving on to the next major section of the prints.
I just did it for you
6-W-8 08/05 WING SKINS
08/05 is the most current update to that print.

Zenith tells builders to always use the drawings as the right way to do
things.

Yep. I have the most current of both the plan and the assembly manual. The
error is in the current assembly manual. My bad for not cross-checking with
the print.
Just tossing this out here as a warning to anyone else just starting that
you have got to check the print rather than blindly use the assembly
manual.
