Wing riveting

Hi all,
Pretty quiet site these days, I guess more sunlight this time of year has something to do with it. My question is, I notice there are no rivet holes at the rear of the tank in the tank covers at the rib locations along the same rivet line as the bulk heads. The rivet spacing is pretty close around the tank except for the large spaces at these locations. Are others drilling a hole and adding a rivet in between at this location? And if so, can I add a rivet to the wing that is already done where the proseal is all ready cured?
Or should I not mess with it?
Thanks,
Mike Betti

How big a space? If more than about an inch and you still have access
for more proseal I'd probably consider putting the rivet in but it's
hard to give an opinion that means much without seeing it. Proseal is
pretty strong stuff if there is enough there already.
