Brief Description:  Attach elevators

The instructions calls for attaching the elevators and finding the spacers that are needed for the
gap between the left and right elevator and the bearing block in the center. I used calipers and toyed around with getting the measurement right for the spacers. After getting the washer thicknesses locked down I was am ready to attach the elevators to each other.

The left elevator required .135 of washer thickness and the right side required .184. I got it
real close. I bought a 1/2" stainless steel bolt and I am going to use the lathe to make a single washer the proper size for each side of the elevator, that way I won't have a bunch of washers but only one on each side.
