Step 1: Good results were achieved by clamping an aluminum strip along the recess edge and then using a Dremel with router attachment to square the edge. Even though the Dremel has the potential to eat into the aluminum strip, one can guide the Dremel in a fashion where it barely touches the strip.

It is possible to 3D-print a mold and lay up a fiberglass cap that goes onto the leading edge of E-912 instead of building it up to match the curvature of E-913. The 3D-print project is here at Onshape. The 3D-printer file is here HS_Fairing_Mold1.stl.
It is possible to 3D-print a mold and lay up a fiberglass insert that goes into HS-910. It has the right curvature and it has the necessary kink to match the Elevator counter weight leading edge. The 3D-print project is here at Onshape. The 3D-printer file is here HS_Fairing_Mold2.stl

Step 6: The standard tool kits don't include a machine countersink took for #6 screws, for alternatives, see this FB thread.
