I drilled some holes through both pieces of the lower hinge bracket so that I could mount the rudder stop between them. I fabricated a little drilling template that let me get the holes in the right spot since the stop slides farther back when between the brackets than it does when above or below them.
There’s just enough room to use an AN960-10 washer above and below the stop to center the stop between the brackets. This should evenly transfer any load into the brackets, spar and aft bulkheads.
