Practice Kit Trailing Edge Alignment

Hello VAF! Working on my practice kit from Vans and am finding the trailing edge skins and wedges are not aligning. Looks to be about 0.0815" out of alignment.

I feel like if I force the alignment before drilling it will cause one of the skins to bow. Any thing I can do to fix this or is this not something to worry about?

You had the top and bottom skins swapped. I did the same thing, but didn't figure it out until after lots of riveting. If you riveted, this will be good rivet drilling practice.

That was it! I missed that these parts had an orientation. I thought they were symmetrical. Thanks gotyoke!
