The damage is mainly aesthetic but I like to repair it. Reason for me to ask Hugh to e-mail me also the portions of his assembly manual that cover the rudder installation. Brian, if possible, could you send me a photograph of the damaged section? Thanks to both of you.

All the flap / elevator mounts use the same system. Checling all the pins are visible should be part of the pre-flight) Remove the cotter pin from the top mount pin Mark and disconnect any electrical leads release the bottom right angled pin by pulling upwards and remove thru the plate hole Reassembly takes a little patience lining up the pin. It is much easier if the flat end of the pin is machined conical. You can't get your fingers inside with enough force to push it thru the nylon bushing - use piers or grips. Check the pin enters and is captive in the 'hat' on the inside of the pin plate and is visible. Rivet the plate back.

So the all the outside edge rivets would need to be drilled out?

Correct. Don't drill the 2 rivets in the middle - they hold the 'hat' that retains the pin in place. The rudder skin is thin and fragile. Before flying (and presumably part of normal pre-flight) check that cottar pin on the small mounting pin at the extreme top of the rudder cottar pins on each rudder cable the bottom pin is visible just behind the tiny hole in the pin plate. This indicates it is correctly positioned and captive.
