Ended up with a bunch of other stuff to do today, so I only had a couple of hours to work on this. Match drilled the 609pp bars to the 603pp channels, including the #21 holes common to the HS708 ribs. I've got enough tools to start a Home Depot, but I couldn't find a #21 drill bit in my stash, so I ran down to the yard store and picked up a couple.
Located and match drilled all the elevator hinges including the VA-146 center bearing Assy. Was going to prime the bearing and the raw hole edges of all the steel brackets, but discovered that the rattle can of zinc chromate I have is clogged to the point of no return. I got it from the guys I bought the kit from and was planning to use it up and then switch over to zinc phosphate anyway, so its not that big a deal other than I cant really rivet together the VA-146 until I pickup some primer.
