Bad holes

Post by CalKid »

Dimpling snafu resulted in 2 skin holes that are potato shaped. The longest dimension is 5/16s for each hole so I guess a 1/8 ooops rivet won't work. I am thinking clean up the edges, flatten up the hole and drill an adjacent hole. 1 hole is on a rib the other bad boy is on the forward spar (Hz Stab).
Suggestions appreciated.
