To complete the rudder assembly there is a rudder tip skin and fiberglass end cap that need to be mounted to the rudder.
At this point I will also be adding the rudder balance counter weight just prior to permanently mounting the fiberglass ruder end cap.
Evan Brunye has very detailed and helpful video on the assembly of this part:

I don't have any pictures of the end-cap countersink or the dimpled tip skin prior to Clecoing everything together.
I did follow Evans recommendation to use aluminum backer washers because the fiberglass material is quite thin.
I found these on Amazon and they worked great:
POP Rivet Washers for 1/8" Diameter Rivets
I also used a flexible adhesive to affix the washers to the fiberglass before riveting:
Fitment of the fiberglass tip went fairly smoothly, I think the parts that Sling are producing has improved significantly from earlier production runs.
I am happy with the the alignment only a small amount of fill will be needed to close the gaps on the leading edge.
Trailing edge is also in good shape and possibly just a little full to close any gaps and keep water out.
From here I installed the rivnuts for the beacon aligning the mount locations to the Aveo Supernova DV DayLite beacon.
I like the shape of this beacon as it nearly perfectly fits the existing mount location on the tip.
Everything was disassembled, cleaned and I completed the installation of the rudder counter weight.
I opted to leave a service loop for the wire harness protruding through the fiberglass tip and will complete the installation of the lighting after paint.
