The pins attaching the trim tab to the elevator have rusted through. My mechanic is suggesting it would be cheaper to buy a used elevator/trim ab rather than trying to fix the old. (The aluminum skin has to be removed from the trim tab and the pin drilled out. And the fabric has to be cut on the elevator and the hinge replaced.) Does any one have any experience with this repair? Is it really that difficult? I have the ability to put sweat equity into the project and my mechanic would let me.
Appreciate any input. Joseph
