Older kit question

Kind of an odd question but I had an older tail kit from 2007 that I sold but have a chance to buy it back. I don’t have the original packing list to compare for items the new kit may have mine does not. Van’s sent me the current packing list. Anyone have a packing list from around this time or possibly a guru on items I will probably need to buy? Thanks

I don't have an old packing list, but I built my tail kit in 2021. There are a few service bulletins that I know were incorporated into my kit that your original probably didn't have: rear bulkhead reinforcement, rudder stops, elevator/rudder hinge reinforcements, elevator stops. Just go through all the SBs.

My RV10 tail kit was ordered July 2007, arrived Aug 2007. I'm pretty sure I have the original packing list in the hangar. Unfortunately I am tied up this week, will not get a chance to get to the airport until about a week from today. I do recall that the rear bulkhead reinforcement SB came out after I had finished that section, but it was not yet covered up so it was very easy to accomplish.
 
Im in no rush, the one I was building had not got to the part. The only thing done was the rudder, if you get a chance when back I would appreciate the list if you still have it. Thanks
