Without bracing the lower vertical stabilizer the side loads from the tail wheel will overstress the attachment of the lower vertical stabilizer where it attaches to the steel ring on the end of the tail boom. 

With that in mind if you could take some (some have used round tube,,, I used some 3/16. X 1 inch alum stock).   Place it between the attach point of the lower vertical brace wires and just below center on the steel ring on the end of the tail boom.  Use a small bolt in place of one of the rivets called for.   Put one on each side.  This will triangulate the lower vertical stabilizer against side load movement preventing breakage.
