A small crack is developing in my trim tab, coming off the corner where the control arm joins the tab.
What are my options here? I can easily stop drill it and monitor it to ensure that it doesn't grow, but I'd like to consider longer term options. Two come to mind: build a new trim tab, or try to re-skin the one I have.
I've seen the tab skin in Van's catalog, so that part is easy enough to get, but are the other parts equally easy to get? Is it likely that I can get the old skin off without destroying the underlying structure?
And what are the chances of this being a recurring problem? I there something wrong with the way the current one is built/mounted/aligned?
