Surprisingly, I was able to get the stabilator back on the tailcone without scratching anything. Then I reinstalled the bottom and top fairng. There's a lot of interference. I readjusted the fairing slightly left but it still rubs in the aft part of the fairing and very little of it has the required 1/8" clearance. I filed the very aft part for now because even if Van's support responds to pull the fairing forward (abandoning the two holes I driled) getting an 1/8" clearance back there is going to be diffiicult. But it seems to me just filing the skin carefully would accomplish what I need to accomplish. We'll see what Tony at Van's says.
