This is a photographic record of my build project and is primarily of use to me and other builders.

I used a 1/4" bolt to provide for the minimum specified clearance between aileron and flap.

Trailing edge alignment was achieved using a straight edge against the aileron (r/h/s) and extended along the flap and secured with the use of 1" mini clamps.
