Default elevator e720 material

hi all,
i've screwed up my E-720J,-720K,and -720L elevator stiffeners cutting them too short, and was wondering whether anyone knows the material they are made of or where i can find out, i'm guessing they'd be 2024t3 alclad but i want to be sure,

cheers

The parts list in the manual lists the material for each part (Chapter 4??). As far as I remember, every aluminum part fabbed from sheet (including stiffeners and J-channel) is 2024-T3 alclad, except for ribs which are 2024-T0 alclad, solution heat treated to T4 after forming. Extruded parts are generally 6061-T6.
