Hi team!
Our elevators came out really nice, with the possible exception of this one issue. There is a noticeable gap between the counter balance skins and the flanges of the counterbalance ribs. Riveting did not help pull this in at all.
I don't see what I might have done different here. The skins went on these ribs very nicely and felt well aligned. The skins are VERY rigid in this configuration and have no willingness to get closer to the rib flange. I think the ribs are just "too short" by a small amount.
My inclination is to seal this gap with proseal to prevent moisture from intruding, and carry on.
Thoughts?
