Greetings,
I realized now that I'm about to install the stabilator that complying with the SB for cracking means the pre-glued washers aren't going to work. I was wondering if there are any tips or improvements beyond this prior thread?

I got my micrometer out and it looks like one side will need two thin washers and the other a thick and a thin - but it seems likely that I won't know where exactly to put the thick washer until after the stab is mounted. Fortune seems to have favored me though, I have a wheeled tool box that is almost exactly the same height as my tail - so I already had the stab attached once to fit the fiberglass tailcone. I'm about to put it back on and was wondering if the state of the art for washer insertion had improved since that prior thread was posted
