Electric Trim

I am also looking at installing an electric elevator trim for my 9A
Does anyone know what parts I will need at the trim tab end/not the electric motor - also any instructions and photos will be a great help. TIA

Anthony, for the trim tab end you’ll typically need the actuator attachment hardware, a clevis/fork connection, hinge bracket or mounting tabs (depending on your existing setup), pushrod/rod end bearings, and the necessary hardware to connect the actuator to the tab linkage. The exact parts depend on whether your 9A already has the manual trim tab setup installed and which electric trim system you’re using.
I’d recommend checking the kit manufacturer’s installation manual first, as the trim tab geometry and travel limits are pretty critical. A few photos of your current trim tab linkage would help others identify exactly what you need.
