I decided years ago (4?) to hold off on finishing out the fiberglass tips until the end. Well, while I'm waiting on my prop I decided to do this step. All is going well on the HS and elev. tips. But on the rudder tip things don't seem to fit, mainly at the trailing edge - although the leading edge will need some serious sanding for it to fit inside the skin.
For information I have the 'new' rudder that uses the WEX piece and is double-flush riveted. I know that when I ordered my kit Van's was transitioning from the old style rudder to the new style. My buddy who ordered only 6 mos before me got the old style. Is there an 'old' and 'new' style rudder tip?
Here's two pics to illustrate:
