Has anyone had installation issues with the elevator trim access panels? I managed to thread the access panel with trim stop nut onto the left elevator trim cable okay, but on the right elevator there is no way there is enough clearance for the access panel and trip stop nut to rotate around the trim cable housing to thread on.
I thought I could maybe drill out the rivets holding the trim stop nut onto the access panel, thread the nut on separately, and then use some small counter-sunk screws and nuts to attach the access panel after the fact. Any other ideas?

I bought the after market ones, I threaded them on and then attached them with pop rivets, I figured it was easy enough to drill them out as needed. I was going to install nut plates, but regardless of size I could get an easy solution. I did think of making a mounting plate for the anchor to attach to and then put nut plates on that to attach the cover, then decided it was just easier to pop rivet.

I just completed my final assembly and had to drill out the rivets and screw it on. Had to do it twice, since the first time I could not adjust for the 35 degrees. The second time I used clecos to hold the plate on while I did the adjustment and then put the rivets back on when I was done.

Just as the other responses I’ve opted for pop rivets and have had to drill them out to remove the elevator. Hopefully it’s for the last time as the bird is in the paint shop. One consideration, although I’m not convinced it will work, is to tap the holes for screws if you have the aftermarket versions. They are great and I wonder if there’s enough material to make that work since they are a little thicker.
Just a thought, I don’t have access to the airplane right now to validate it.
