The important datum points are the hinge pin and the bolt. LE of the
aileron is useless as a datum, the edge is not much better. You need to
reduce the variables, and the position of the hinge is not accurately
fixed, although it is the primary datum point.
The job needs to be done before the hinge pin is bent over, (a dubious
practice IMHO.) Better to secure it by drilling for fine lock wire or
similar technique.
