29 OCT 07 - Dimpled and Countersunk VS Spar and Reinforcement  - 1 Hour

I didn't have much time in the shop tonight, but I would like to be able to get these parts primed prior to Friday. I am hoping to complete the vertical stabilizer on Friday when I will have some time available.

I countersunk the VS spar reinforcement and then dimpled the VS spar. The bottom rivets in the VS spar are flush.

VS Spar and Reinforcement

Spar and Reinforcement Do Not Sit Flush
I am going to ask Van's about this. I countersunk fairly deep, and the dimple is causing the piece to not sit flush with the spar. I'm not sure if the rivets will flatten them out or if I need to countersink some more.
