The plans clearly call out the W-1021B Flap Gap Stiffener to keep its flange outboard. On the left wing, I put it inboard since that made the most sense (to me, anyway). So when I went to do the right I took a quick gander at the plans to refamiliarize and realized I reversed it on the left, but not before the whole flap gap fairing was riveted in. So fixing that would be quite challenging.
Sterling at Van's graciously went to look at their flying -14A (N214VA) and their bird is actually opposite of plans. He said either orientation is fine so I'm going to leave it as-is. My concern was clearance issues against the fuselage rather than drag.
