Step : 1 Match-Drill the 1/8" hole in the close out tab of the E-1001A Top Skin into the tab of the E-1001B Bottom Skin using a #30 drill. Cleco this hole, then match-drill the two holes of the E-1022 Shear Clip into both skin tabs using the same drill.

Step : 2 Remove the clecos securing the E-905 Root Ribs to the E-1002 Front Spars. Cleco the WD-605-L-1 Left Elevator Horn and the WD-605-R-1 Right Elevator Horn to the root ribs and front spars of their respective elevators as shown in Figure 2.

Final-Drill the six holes common to the horns and front spars, and the six holes common to the horns and root ribs using a #30 drill.

Step : 3 Final-Drill all the holes of the E-1001A & B Skins and the underlying structure using a #40 drill. When drilling the E-1002 Front and E-1007 Rear Spars, start drilling mid span and work toward the root and tip. Cleco each hole.

Final-Drill the holes for the F-1023 Trailing edge perpendicular to the chord line of the elevator, not perpendicular to the skins.

 
Step : 4 Position the WD-415 Trim Cable Anchor Brackets on the two E-616 Cover Plates as shown in Figure 3. The brackets are located on opposite sides of the cover plates for the left and right elevators.

Drill four #30 holes, located approximately as shown, through the brackets and cover plates.

 
Step : 5 The attachment hardware for the E-616 Cover Plate is shown in Figure 4 for reference purposes. Dimple the cover plate for the screws and the E-615 Reinforcement Plate to accept the dimple in the cover plate

Dimple all the #40 holes in the reinforcement plate for the dimples in the skin and for the 3/32" flush rivets used to attach the nutplate. The K1100 nutplate will accommodate the dimple for the screws in the reinforcement plate, but will have to be dimpled for the nutplate attachment rivets (see Section 5R).

 

 
Step : 6 Repeat Step 5 for the E-1015 Reinforcement Plate and E-616 Cover Plate on the right elevator. (The dimple is on the opposite side of the cover plate on the right elevator.)  
Step : 7 Completely disassemble both elevators. Mark all the parts so that they can be reassembled in the same position. Make sure to mark the inside surface of the skins to prevent dimpling the holes in the wrong direction.  
Step : 8 Deburr all holes and any unfinished edges.  
Step : 9 Dimple the holes in the E-1001A & B Skins (don't forget the three holes in the close out tabs), and the E-913 Counterbalance Skin.
