Stab Hinges - Part 4

The final job on the stab is to fit the hinges. Located the factory supplied hinges, AN3 bolts and washers for installation, this was straight forward requiring only installation of the angle brackets using the previously installed captive nuts. 

The angles were primed before installation as was the rear of the spar area. 

Reaming mounting holes

To ensure correct alignment all mounting holes were chased with a tapered reamer in the battery drill. Fixing can be either nylock or castellated nuts with latter begin chosen. The reasoning was that even thought no relative movement can occur as installed but due to the exterior position and lack of seals it is remotely possible for that to occur - erred on the side of caution.
