Great recommendations everyone, thanks!
I have been experimenting with a piece of old wing skin and it seems to be the best outcome, so far, with a lightly dimpled #40 pilot hole for the skin with a snug rivet fit. Haven't tried it on a rib yet. I tried #33, #32 and 1/8" with a light hole debur and it would open the hole up too wide for a rivet, but, I may still be doing something wrong. I tried with light pressure and the dimple hole would be out of round. I ordered another dimple die from Sonex as I used my current one recently on some .032 material for a cowling repair and might have tweaked it.
