Brief Description:  Trimming Rear Spar Reinforcement/Doubler plates

After reviewing the builders manual, I found that I neglected to trim the rear spar reinforcement fork and doubler (YIKES!). Not sure what would not work if I let that go until wing hanging. Anyway, trimmed both the W-707D and W-707G as per plans for a RV-7/7A. Just a little concerned with the tolerance allowance here. So I posted on the Houston RV Builders forum about my concern nd received a reply back that basically said that I am ok. I believe I am +-1/32 inch off. I know, I know, that is not that much, but I want it to stay aloft. So, if this is ok, then ok. If not, I want to know before I get too far down the road.
