Take a look at edge distance for the shortest line from the pin hole to any edge. If you can shave off the fitting and not decrease that distance, you are good.

I hammered out a very slight blister in the wing gap cover to get around the protruding angle. Its actually so slight, its almost imperceptible. I was surprised it only took about 3-4 minutes to hammer out the little bulge in the gap cover. If it was much more, I would definitely check on edge distance for trimming. I appreciate the input. It helps.
