So when drilling the 2nd rudder bearing block position on the F-719-L stiffener. The aft mounting holes is just a tad tight for fitment (Remember I reamed the holes to 3/16"). At the end of the day, I felt it better to redo the part since it is fairly easy to do now. So I ordered a new F-719-L stiffener from Vans, but when it arrived today, the fit is very poor when compared to the right side.
To make it fit better, I tried to bend the angle more rather than fabricate shims for such a large gap. Needless to say I ruined the angle trying to bend it more. (Surprise, Surprise). I'll order more F-719-L stiffeners in hopes I can make a near perfect one.
