Step 1: Cleco the E-615 Trim Access Reinforcement Plate to the E-1000B Bottom Skin on the left elevator and the E-1015 Trim Access Reinforcement Plate to the bottom skin on the right elevator as shown in Figure 1.

Step 2: Final Drill the holes common to the reinforcement plates and skins and the nut plate attachment rivet holes around the opening in the reinforcement plates, using a #40 drill. 

Step 3:  Cleco the E-921 Elevator Gusset to the E-905 Root Rib and the E-10007 Rear Spar as shown in FIgure2. Adjust the angle of the gusset, if necessary, to fit the angle made by the rib and spar.

Step 4: Remove one of the clecos attaching the gusset to the rib, then final drill the hole with a #30 drill. Install a cleco in this hole, final drill the second holes with the same drill, and cleco  Repeat the procedure for the attachment holes to rear spar. Repeat the procedure for the attachment holes to the rear spar

Step 6: Cleco the tip rib assembly (made up of the E-903 Outboard Tip Rib, the E-904 Inboard Tip Rib, and the E-913 Counterbalance Skin) to the E-1022 Shear Clip, the E-1002 Front Spar, and the E-1001B Bottom Skin. There are four holes which are used to attach the tip rib assembly to the front spar; two on the web of the outboard tip rib and two on the aft flange of the inboard tip rib.

Step 7: Cleco the E-1001A Top Skin to the structure of the elevator as shown in Figure 4. The Close out tab in the top skin is positioned between the E-1022 Sheer Clip and the tab in the E-1001B Bottom Skin.

Step 8: Insert  a VA140 between the E-1001A Top Skin and E-1001B Bottom Skin. Align the end hole of the trailing edge wedge with the outboard hole in the trailing edge of the skins, cleco in place 

Then mark the edges of one of skins on the trailing edge wedge. 

Remove the trailing edge wedge, trim at the marks (its now an E-1023), then cleco it back in place.

Step 1: Match Drill the 1/8" hole in the close out tab of the E-1001A Top Skin into the tab of the E-1001B Bottom Skin using a #30 drill. Cleco this hole, then match-drill the two holes of the E-1022 Shear Clip into both skin tabs using the same drill.

Step 2: Remove the clecos securing the E-905 Root Ribs to the E-1002 Front Spars. Cleco the WD-605-L-1 Left and Elevator Horn and the WD-605-R-1 Right Elevator Horn to the root ribs and front spars of their respective elevators as shown in Figure 2.

Final drill the six holes common to the horns and front spars, and the six holes common to the horns and root ribs using a #30 drill.

Step 3: Final Drill all the holes of the E-1001A &B Skins and the underlying structure using a #40 drill. When drilling the E-1002 Front and Rear Spars, start drilling mid span and work toward the root and tip. Cleco each hole.
