I am confused! I am about to do my WAFs and can someone show me a picture of what they are talking about... someone mentioned about drilling the holes larger in the spars for Spacers as well between the two waf's so there would be less crush on the spars. Don't know about that idea, is that what you are refering too?

I've seen that in an old Newsletter, and Steve Trentman with the turbine built his that way. It looked a lot better, at least, and with proper spacers like you mentioned, would reduce parts count and put the joints in double shear rather than single shear.
