This is the spar and reinforcement plates after being drilled and prepared. Everything just lined up. Hopefully the real thing will be as kind.
There were some issues when installing the rivets. When it came to inserting the larger rivets to attach the plates, even though I'd only just drilled all the holes (lined up with clecos), pulled them all apart, deburred and reattached, the holes didn't line up perfectly. I had four of the five holes clecoed. I even reamed the hole again but the rivet still would not fall into the hole to be squashed.
Maybe it knew what was about too happen...

I ended up having a lot of trouble removing the unset rivet and haven't got around to installing another one just yet. Soon though.
