Robert,Here's the trick, hope you haven't glued the plywood gussets over the triangular block. This block needs to be notched sothat the washer and nut have a flat spot to sit on. Then theouter bolt that goes thru will be much longer than the other bolt on the hinge. The real trick comes when the gusset are on and you want toassemble the hinge to the stabalizer and the elevator, then things end up tight and skinny fingers are a big plus. Also,a 1/4" ratchet with extension and u-joint are nice too.If the gussets are already in place, consider using a sharp chisel to remove one gusset and then notching the block underneath. Do all this off the plane of course, and gently.Good luck,RodgerPiet in progress________________________________________________________________________________
