Brief Description: Bending of the elevator trailing edges and rivetin

The trim backup plate was dimpled and the nut plates countersunk, then rivetd. The assembly was then riveted in place on the left elevator. Bill Zahn and I bent the elevators together using the tool he made. This was so easy and took only seconds.
