This is the dimpled trim tab mounting plate.

Thought I'd better see how it fits at the point.......perfect!
....aaaaaaand riveted.
I had an interesting chat with Vans via email about the washers in this next photo. The story goes:
- As there are no labels or markings on the washers themselves, when I received the bag of bits Vans, when confirming the original inventorying, I divided up the washers according to the quantities listed as the different types were different quantities.
- I didn't chase the dimensions online to confirm.
- As per this drawing...
- .....I should be installing two of NAS1149FN432P washers. According to my count, they are the larger inner diameter washers that slip straight over the MS20392-1C11 pin which sort of defeats the purpose.
- The image below shows how I aligned the washers according to what was in the packet.
- The smaller washer (according to me) was the NAS1149FN416P - which fits perfectly, and was actually the one I installed while awaiting a response from Vans.
- Within 12hrs, they responded with a shortcut to Aircraft Spruce which has a nice chart showing all the washers, dimensions and even has little pictures.
- This confirmed I seem to have the wrong quantities of washers in my kit. I now need to read ahead and see where the others are used and ultimately find out what the discrepancy is as something isn't right.
Anyway, this is how the trim servo push rod looks attached...
These are the pins that go into the non-siliconed end which I've soldered on.
And this is how the trim tab sits after connecting the other end of the trim tab servo rod to the trim tab. I now need to power it up and get it straight.
