Step : 1 Cleco the E-1008 Ribs (the rib halves should still be clecoed together) and the E-905 Root Rib to the E-1002 Front Spar and to the E-1001B bottom Skin as shown as Figure 1. Note that, except for the root ribs, the flanges of all the ribs are directed outboard on both elevators. The holes in the front spar used to attach the root ribs are 3/32" while the holes for the other ribs are 1/8". This is intentional, so don't be temped to drill them to match the rest.

Step : 3  Final-drill the two holes at the outboard end of the E-1007 Rear Spar (the holes that don't match with a rib) using a #30drill. Final-Drill the holes common to the E-1008 Ribs and the E-1002 and E-1007 Spars using a #30 drill. Final-Drill the holes common to the root rib and spars using a #40 drill.

Step : 4 Cleco a E-1022 Shear Clip to the E-1007 Rear Spar and to the E-1008 Rib shown in Figure1. The longer flange of the shear clip is positioned inboard of the tab in the E-1001B Skin (see page 09.07, Figure 1). The clecos attaching the shear clip to the rib and spar need to be installed from the inside the elevator to keep the holes in the longer flange of the shear clip accessible for drilling later. (Remember to do this to the right elevator as well.)
