Final drilled the #30 and #40 holes in the skin and spar

In this series of instructions, it says to cleco the spar/rib assembly to the bottom surface on the elevator skin, but never mentions clecoing the top of the spar/rib assembly for final drilling of the skin to the spar and rib. So, I clecoed everything together and final drilled all holes on both side of the elevator skin to #40. Then I went back and final drilled again for the #30 pop-rivets that go in the bottom surface of the elevator into the spar. I left the holes at the #40 size where they were available for hand squeezing at the bearing cut-out holes in the skin.
