When mine was built there was no spar guide. I tried several methods, reduxed
blocks, riveted brackets etc. all failed after a rather small number of
riggings due to the enormous forces that can be generated on insertion. I
agree a gap is generally required, as the face of the aperture is not
necessarily true to the back of the cockpit module. In the end I bolted down
one of the discarded rubber rings from the old tail wheel. These are kinder to
the spar, absorb punishment, and allow the spar to be adjusted without
difficulty.
