Hi,



I need some advice on how to solve a problem on my 1991 Skybolt.


The problem is that I have a rater great play in the trim tab arms caused by enlarged holes for the push/pull rod.
The material as you can see on the pictures not that thick.


How shall I in the best way put more material on, so I can drill and ram a new hole ??
I dont whant to put on a lot of weight.


(and yes, i will re-paint them)


Best regards
Martin
