I enlarged mine also and I remember the plans saying to modify the bushing 
because the sections would interfere.  If those are the same holes you are 
talking about.  I trimed out the bushings and put them in.  I have to admit 
it did seem alittle funky and I am learning to read and study carefully 
before jumping in.  There are some mistakes and Vans does fix them 
(sometimes), but I've also found to read the web sites and look for the 
areas I need to watch out for.  You are probably doing that already, I bet!
Small price to pay for a great airplane however!

Keep on Brother,
