Well, I didn't expect this one... The trim tabs are both built into the elevators from the factory. Before covering the elevators, the trim tabs need to be cut out. Simple enough. After covering the elevators, I also covered the trim tabs separately. But, when reattaching the trim tabs to their respective positions on the elevators, I discovered a fitment conflict.
So, I it's time to remove the covering and perform some surgery
Removed the fabric and marked my cut locations. I will use the upright portable band saw to make the cuts.
Cuts have been made. Tracing new sheet metal to fill the new void
Tacked in place
After a visit with the grinder. Prepped and ready for primer.
Primed along with the amputated pieces
Both trim tabs recovered. Will they fit?
YES!
