Buy a drill gauge.  When I worked in the industry, you could never trust
what was on the bit.  I always sorted my bits when I got a new lot of them
in using my drill bit gauge.

Depending on who you talk to a 41 or a 40 is right for
3/32 rivet.  I have tried both not much difference. 
Be sure the bit is really the size you think.  I
bought some cheap bits once from Harbor Freight and
they were way off.  Cost me about $40 when I drilled a
bolt hole too large and had to remake some parts. 
When in doubt measure it with a good pair of calipers.

Vans makes mistakes, but I can tell you I have misread
far more than they have written wrong.  Found a lot of
people on the list willing to help.  It is a lot
cheaper to ask first.

Good Luck

I asked Ken Scott if I could get away with a single CHT and he said no
because these ships are "experimental". There are individual variations
in the baffling which could cause variations in the heating pattern.
Usually, the front two cylinders are the coolest and some builders
install provisions for "air dams" in front of them to better balance the
temperatures. I am installing the Grand Rapids Model 4000 EIS which
provides all four EGTs, CHTs and most other diagnostic transducers for
less than a thousand dollars (plus $375 for a FuelFlo).
