Brief Description:  Install Rudder Shim, Torque Bolts

I used two different sizes of pulled rivets to attach the shim for the rudder stop due to the different thicknesses of material at the base of the rudder. Installed the rudder stop and shims and torqued attach bolts, then marked with torque seal. Also torqued the bolts for the rudder pedal mounts and marked them. Installed the F-6119 rudder cable links with screws, washers, and castle nuts and installed cotter pins (both sides). Used the squeezer to rivet the F-781 to the vertical stab. Riveted the elevator up stop with the squeezer then torqued mounting bolts and marked with torque seal. Since I used an internal rudder stop I had one space without a rivet in the forward flange of the F-712 bulkhead still to locate and rivet. I marked the location and drilled the holes for final rivets in the tail section. Used pulled rivets due to lack of access to buck the rivets.
