One of the "Take aways" from reading this forum for hours and hours is the no riveted part should have unnecessary stress. Torsion, shear etc.
Like many others I managed to get my -8 rudder leading edges to come together with quite a bit of "persuasion".
All I could think of while riveting this together was "Vibration, crack, zipper, Rudder stuck".
I suppose if there had been any history of this Vans would correct the proceedure.
Any old airframe guys out care to comment?
