Cliff,
When you riveted the 904-D L&R and the 904-C L&R to the 904 E&F parts,
and you just clecoed the parts together and riveted without a bolt thru
them, you may have a slight mis-alignment of the holes.
Happened to me and others. Van's wasn't much help, so I took a step
drill and very slowly and carefully, used it (by hand) as a reamer to
trim the 904 D & C plate holes to line up with the 904 E&F holes. It
doesn't take much, so go slow and do it by hand. No more hammering bolts
in those holes for me.
If this is still not clear let me know and I'll try to give you more info.

Be sure to lubricate bolts.
