Why isn't there a string of expletive equivalent-riddled posting on this issue?! I flushed a good two hours of my life down the drain cutting up pasta tongs (sorry honey ) and struggling with them to get the bolts into the hinges for the right elevator. The tong solution is far from perfect. Does anybody out there have a neat gizmo they fabricated to accomplish this task, or some inventive technique that they could share? Aaaaaaaaarrrrrghhhhhhhhh!!!!
