What did you use to rivet the trim tab attach bracket to the left elevator skin? None of my bucking bars/squeezer heads seem to work.
 
The Tab you mean?

The bracket will be on the trim tab , not the elevator, unless you are thinking something other than I am.:rolleyes:

I put 4-40 nutplates on the inside of my tab and then held the bracket on with some NAS600 screws. I know its overkill but several thousand hours later when the hole in the bracket that the clevis pin goes through wears beyond my comfort, I will be able to replace the bracket without drilling rivets out.

Drilling out blind rivets and reinstalling them can get ugly on lighter structures.:eek:
