I've already simi finished my left wing (-7A). All except bottom
skins. In the build manual it says "Place the manufactured head of
the rivet on the rib flange (side with thinnest material), to prevent
distorting the parts". Which I've completed. In the process I figured
I'll just make them look a like and rivet the rear spar in the same
direction . After, taking a look at some of you guys sight, I noticed
some have the rivets-heads in the other direction.
Should I think nothing of it or take steps to flip them all? Anyone
have an expert opinion on this?

Think nothing of it, when I asked Van's they told me the bottom line is that it is cosmetic, but if you can, do it that way. It makes no difference. Glenn in Arizona -9A wings.
