Help with Rudder Horn Brace R-710

[RVG8tor]

There are tooling holes on the sides and the DWG shows an area to remove, the DWG does not show the tooling holes. See photo below.



I drew a line at the base of the holes and did a rough cut, but I can't see these holes in the DWG, do I trim until the holes are no longer there or leave half of the hole. I am worried if I trim too much there will be edge distance issues when the part is installed. The rivets in the flange of the lower rudder rib will go through this brace.




The second picture of the DWG shows the side view and how it relate to the lower rudder rib and spar.




Anyone done this part recently, I would appreciate any help and or picture you have.

Cheers

A lot of people have had edge distance issues here if they cut off the holes completely. Here is how I did mine, and it came out fine...

Cut through the center of the holes (like Brad did) and you shouldn't have any problems.
