Elevator Hinge Brackets, 1 1/2 x 2 x .125
Check your stock. I found the angle to fabricate the brackets was not square. On the 2" side, it is off by about 1/32 or perhaps a little more. I did not worry about it and fabricated the brackets, but it does cause issues especially with the Center Flange bearning brackets not wanting to sit down flat on the rear spar. I did not want to proceed and bolt them on knowing that they would be under some stress as a result. Perhaps nothing, but I was not happy with it.
I ordered a new angle from Vans. They where very responsive and are checking their stock to insure the extrusion is square.
