Alright, I let the tank sealant cure and bond to the Ribs for a couple of days, so I shifted work back to the Elevator. The photo below shows the Top Left Elevator Skin after the having the Trailing Edge double flush riveted. The rivets circled are the manufactured heads of the AN426AD3-4.5.....
And this is the "double flush" shop head on the Bottom Left Elevator Skin. I used the same Safety Pin Squeezing Tool (purchased from Cleaveland Aircraft Tool) to set the rivets. I will also use the tool for the Trailing Edge of the right side Elevator. This tool produces perfect rivets on the Trailing Edge.
Pictured below is the Hinge Pin that will be inserted into the Piano Hinge to attach the Elevator Trim Tab to the Left Elevator Trailing Edge. The Hinge Pin came in one long rod about 36" and it had to be bent as shown below. I used a padded vice to hold the pin and gently tapped the pin with a rubber mallet to form the angles.
Here is the pin inserted into the Piano Hinge. You can also see the 1/16th hole I drilled in the Rear Spar. This hole is used to hold the Hinge Pin to the Rear Spar with safety wire. The safety wire will prevent the Hinge Pin from vibrating out.
Here is the Trim Tab attached to the Left Elevator Skin.....hopefully for the last time.
