Shaving down the narrow end of the special elevator bucking bar

Before I spend a goodly amount of time shaving down the circled end of this special elevator bucking bar to fit between narrow rib flanges for bucking purposes

Is there any special use for this end of the bar in the instructions? I haven't found it yet, but I may have missed it somewhere.

I did not modify the other end of the bar I made, I only modified the end used to rivet the skin to the spar. I did use the modified bar in other places including the rudder and elevator trail edge where it made a nice back riveting tool.
