Brief Description:  hang rudder and mount both brackets - tight quarte

Not much to show for 3 hours work. Top bracket washers and nuts were near impossible to tighten down. Ended up grinding access hole slightly larger and even then it was a challenge. Then, after all that, it seems the the aft surface in the rudder close out was not parrallel to the wing skin. That led to a bracket leaning down, rather than perpendicular to rudder aft edge. That translated into needing to add 5 flat wahsers for spacers.... not good. Undid all the top brackets bolts and added 2 AN370 flat washers under lower bolt... that shimmed the bracket back to where it should have been. Will still need 2 flat washers at bearing for proper spacing. Bottom looks good... maybe 1 spacer washer. Need one washer at each bracket anyway to capture bearing in place.

Going to use drilled shaft bolts and castle nuts with cotter pins on this control surface.
