The stringers, HS-1015 and 1014 which are what I would top and bottom pairs, really need to be riveted together before riveting them to the HS-1004 web. Also important to watch that you get them correctly oriented left and right and riveted to the web in the correct alignment. We made this mistake with the one pair, I forget which, and had to drill out each of the AN470 rivets into the web, flip the stringer pair over, and rivet it back into place. I essentially followed the procedure in section 5 of the manual for removing rivets and what I learned at the aircraft spruce and EAA metal workshop I attended.
