As long as we are talking about the Horizontal Stabilizer I have a few questions.

First has to do with the slider blocks. The instructions say to push the slider blocks in “snug”. How snug? If I raise the HS up by hand should it stay in that position or what? Is there some kind of lubricant applied on final assembly? I think it is about right but I want to be sure.

Second question has to do with the HS brace adjustment. I measured as instructed and need to shorted the left brace. It is 3/16” off. However the rod end is bottomed out on the threads and I can not shorted the total length. Also the right strut when I attach it, the rod end is also bottomed out. The only path that I see is to cut off about 1/8” from the left side threads so that the rod end does not bottom out.

Third question has to do with the trim actuator. On the upper end rod end there is a bushing part #10001.116 The bolt part #91036.000 will not go through the bushing. I assume the bushing will need to be reamed but there is no mention of doing this.
Hoping the elevator install goes well. At this point I just don’t see how six bolts are going to line up and have an elevator that moves as it should.

Thanks for your help
