<<I think all us new flyers could use the exact measurement from the hinge point to the attach hole. Also what is this bracket made from?  steel ?>>

 

I will go to the hangar this weekend and measure.  I may also have a copy of the LML bulletin (how we communicated in the 1990's) from the factory which introduced this modification.  If so, I'll scan it and post it.

 

The "elevator weldment" is a two-piece bracket.  One attaches to each elevator and they are bolted together, capturing the back end of the aft elevator pushrod and ensuring the elevators move in unison.  A part of the bracket hits the stabilizer as the control stop -- one for up deflection and one for down deflection.  There should be pieces of phenolic bonded to the top and bottom of the stabilizer.  Yes, it is steel.
