Brief Description: Riveted elevator bearing assembly
With the bearing assembly match drilled, I scuffed up the two halves for priming. I covered the bearing with an exact size washer to prevent paint from entering. I used SEM self etching primer and sparyed all 3 parts with 3 coats. While the parts were drying, I experimented with my pneumatic squeezer until I had the correct -6 rivet compression. I sandwiched the bearing between the two HS-411 brackets using 6 rivets. I then clecoed the HS-411 assembly to the rear spar and match drilled the holes to #12.
