First screw up

Match drilled the rudder horn to the lower rib, but the clecos must not have cinched down all the way before I drilled.  Now there's a gap on one side.  Left like this, the rudder will be deflected a couple degrees just on the bottom.  So I've emailed Van's, guessing a need a new R-1004A/B.  Crap.



**UPDATE**
Vans got back to me and said that I could either add a doubler on the other side to "sandwich" the part with elongated holes, or just buy a new one.  I need some Proseal anyway, so I spent the $9.25 for the new R-1004 rib.

I might have a half hour in prep time into it, oh well.  If this is the worst of my screw ups, I'll be a happy camper.
