I sent this question to Vans, but thought I'd post here as well to see what the fix might be. As you can tell from the pictures, I bent one of the elevator trailing edges (E-1023). Since it cracked I assume I cannot still use it. My concern is I've already match drilled and dimpled the skins. Can I just use a new piece of VA-140, go ahead and countersink it, cleco it to the skins and match drill? Any way to save this piece, if not will the VA-140 in my wing kit work for now. I'm sure I'll have more stuff to order from Van's in the future so figured I should wait till I need some more items to save on shipping costs.
Thanks,
