Yesterday I was looking at a friend's S-2B. When he has full left rudder, the elevator rubs on the rudder's rib. Not so much as to hinder movement, but it is leaving a mark in the rudder.

My thought is to put a rubber pad on the rudder stop.

I also suggested he call Danny Adams and/or Aviat for consultation, but am wondering what the thoughts are from the group here.
