Just shave off the four corners and it will slide in quite nicely. I can't recall how log I cut the inserts now (my airplane is in IL.)

In the top (I have a photo but can't find it at the mome nt) I rounded the end of the insert and drilled a hole for the (5/16"?) bol t that holds it to the wing spar fitting.

Those would be the ones. Thank you for finding those. Please note: There is a bit of an angle between the strut and the wing spar fitting. This can be easily accounted for as you see. Don't drill the AN4 holes until the wing is mounted and everything is all lined-up.
