Wings: Pitot-static. AOA/pitot doubler plate riveted in.

The left wing's AOA/pitot tube doubler has been riveted in.  I'm using the PBK-12 Gretz Aero bracket.  A full description of my setup can be found here and another outlining my dual pitot approach.  

First I had to calculate the proper rivet sizes.  There are four separate thicknesses to consider.  Below are the calculations.  I opted to round up in all cases.  The additional length required after passing through the pieces to be riveted is 1.5x the rivet diameter.  So 1.5*3/32=-0.141.

	3/32” Rivet
Skin	0.025	0.025	0.025	0.025
Plate	0.040	0.040	0.040	0.040
Spar	0.063	0.063
L Bracket	0.025			0.025
Additional	0.141	0.141	0.141	0.141
Total Length	0.294	0.269	0.206	0.231
Size (in 1/16”)	4.698	4.298	3.290	3.690
Rounded Up	5	4.5	3.5	4
Rounded Down	4.5	4	3	3.5

One interesting observation is that the #8 screw holes on the skin didn't quite line up with the corresponding holes on the backing plate, despite all my rivet holes lining up from when I originally fitted and match drilled the pieces.  It suggests the pilot bit slightly walked when I drilled the #8 holes.  It's not too big a deal as the screws will compress everything together, however it's a less than desirable occurrence.  It means the dimples in the skin and backing plate don't align.  Below shows the gap between the skin and plate.
