I drilled the skin holes incorrectly. They are elliptical. Drilled a set of holes below.
I am thinking about adding rivets in between the bad holes. The spacing allows it. Rivet A5 is 4 mm, the current distance between holes is 25, 29, 35 mm.
Zenith recommended to use A6 rivets or AN3 bolts for the damaged holes. I opted for the bolts.
