I did something similar where my forward brackets were both 10mm to far
inside.
Moving the bracket to the correct spot should be fine as long as 1) you fill
the old holes with rivets 2) you do not need to over size any holes in the
new position 3) If you do need to make new holes in the spar then they are
far enough away from other holes.
The problem I had:

Perry, your best bet would be to wait for Zenith's answer on the re-positio
ning of the bracket on the spar.- I'm guessing-your spar-will be okay
but Zenith is the expert, not me.- Don't feel too bad about misunderstan
ding the drawing with this part as I seem to remember some issues here myse
lf.=0A-=0ALooking at your serial number I see that your plans pre-date th
e change to the forward H-stab mounts.- I'm 6363 and the update came out
about two weeks after I'd built my stab.- Please make sure that you stab
mounting angles are 063 instead of 040.- There were instances of the 040
brackets cracking with the tail wag given by the 100hp rotax at shutdown.

=0A=0A=0AHi all,=0A-=0AFor all my measuring, I placed one of bracket 7H2-
6 too close to the centerline of the front spar on the stabilizer. I did no
t cut the skin for it so the problem is isolated to whether -I need to re
place the spar or just reposition the bracket further out drill and cleco i
t in a new position. It looks like I put it at about 106 mm rather than the
126mm from the centerline.- I sent an email to zenith for their advice a
nd will likely follow up tomorrow. Anyone make a similar mistake?- I disc
overed this because I misinterpreted the drawing and cut the wrong chamfers
on the brackets and had to make new ones when I was about to position them
again and back drill the holes I found one was in the wrong place.=0A-
