The pre 7 brackets are drilled by the builder and the because of how
they are assembled a straight line of holes in the wing will cause
binding. It is important to get the brackets matched drilled to the wing
after all the wing angles are set and the wings are on. Even then you
will have to do some small bending of the attach brackets like small S
bends to tune it so it moves nice and easy. When all done painting use
motorcycle chain lube to lube the hinges. Any binding needs to be fixed
for good handling.
If you need to redrill the holes you need to replace the aluminum
reinforcing strips under the cap strip. A better way to go is with the
series 7 type reinforcer which is a cup type bracket that is attached to
the inside back and replaces the aluminum strips with a much more
substantial system. I think John McBean has them of can tell you were to
get them.

Yes I need to replace the Aluminum reinforcements as they have been drilled
and will not be solid if redrilled nearby. My flaperon attachment holes
were not in a straight line by as much as a half of an inch. The flaperon
was in a bind just sitting there and it was only mounted to the lower
flaperon attachment hole! Thanks Ron NB Or
