Since the last post I have heard back from Van's regarding the over-countersinking on the HS front spar. They have advised that it is OK and to keep building just to use a small rivet set to keep the rivet head tight in the countersink.
I turned a small rivet set on the lathe to fit the rivet head and set the rivet without any problems then continued rivetting the HS Front Spar assembly.
Since doing this I have been deburring and fluting the ribs for the HS. I have also made a tool to bend the flanges of the ribs to 90 degrees.
