I suspect that the tailwheel steering chains may cause the hole on the rudder attach and the tailwheel attach hole to elongate over time. I've seen the wear on other aircraft. I wonder what our fleet experience has seen.
Some other craft use eye bolts to attach the chains. Here is a photo of a Super Cub...AN42B eye bolt with the steering arm sandwhiched under two AN970 fender washers. Am I creating a solution to a problem that does not exists?
