Posted this yesterday morning  and only got one response.   I even sent the same question and pictures to Vans and they didn't even answer yet.  Anyway, on page 10-13 steps 4, 6, and 7 we are instructed to drill the end holes of each piece to #12's into the longerons.  What is the proper, or acceptable hole clearances (to the edge of the longerons)???  Mine range from 1/4" to 1/8 inch on the closest ones.  Is this an acceptable distance or do I need to get new longerons and start over???  
Pictures are attached.
 
Thanks in advance,

The holes on my longeron are uniformly 1/2" from the outboard edge of the longeron.  Sounds like your F-1014 aft deck was not square when you drilled the longeron.  As has often been said, the parts are cheap, so order a new part and do it right.

You should have a copy of AC43.13.  It will tell you far more than you ever wanted to know about different construction materials and how to work with them.
Go to http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdvisoryCircular.nsf/0/99C827DB9BAAC81B86256B4500596C4E?OpenDocument&Highlight=43

(you may have to cut and paste .... I haven't mastered 'small URL' yet) and look in chapter 4 ...... 4-57 to be more exact, and you'll find metal repairs .... and a whole lot more.  AC43.13 will be almost (I did say almost) as valuable as a set of plans or an extra set of hands.  Trust me.

Do not archive ...... which was missing from the original message.

I guess I have the question of: Do you think you can do it
better the 2nd time around? If so, it may not be a bad
thing to rework. See if you're able to move things around
so that the next longeron would be drilled better. Then
you at least know if that option will help.

For your reference here is how mine came out. The outside edges of the deck were lined up flush with the outside edges of the longerons, not the skins.
 
If the holes were moved outward much more the might be a problem with the washer under the nut seating properly because of the radius of the extrusion.
