We had long ago installed flush static ports, before hearing how they end up being less accurate than those with a slight outward bump. I don’t feel like crawling back in the tailcone and replacing the existing ports.
Any opinions on the efficacy of gluing a washer or other small metal disk on top of the flush port, with an appropriately-sized hole leading into the port itself?

Same exact problem I had on my 8A.
I drilled a 1/16” hole in the center of a couple of 1/8” AN470 rivets. After drilling the hole I used a Dremmel tool to cut off the rivet shank, then sanded flush. I used JB Weld to epoxy the rivet heads to the flush static ports, putting a shaved down toothpick in the hole to both hold it in place while the epoxy cured and to keep the hole clear. Photos attached.
After 200 hrs still working perfectly.
For the RV-10 I’m using a couple of 3/16” AN470 rivets with a 1/16” hole drilled through the head and the rivet shank. I’ll just epoxy the whole rivet in, then glue on the ¼” static line over the rivet shank.

Kevin Horton had some great info about fixing static port errors. I believe it was in one of his articles in Kitplanes.
