 My Notes:
-- Step 5 Bending the ends of the trim tabs:
+* Step 5 Bending the ends of the trim tabs:<br>
+Make a wooden trim tab template verbatim from the templates.  Use this on the inside of the area to be bent. Now put a reverse wedge on the top so the clamps will work.  Now the outboard end is square (90 deg) so offset 1/32 as illustrated then clamp to table FIRM,  and bend with wood block.  I skipped the double sided tape as I was able to precisely clamp w/ 1/32 offset.   I used a plastic peen on the rivet gun set to 40 psi.  Bend the bottom first.  Use the plastic peen to sharpen the edge of the bend.  - Now bend the top down and match drill.<br>
+When doing the other end, draw a line w/ sharpie from the angle edges.  Put the wood block in at the same angle as the line.  Clamp to the table same as other end. Clamp it FIRM.

+I used my buddy's 90 deg "shear/brake" with a 1/4-1/2" angle iron.  I slightly opened up the trim tab while gently bending to 15 degrees.  Came out ok.  Better than just doing it with duck bill pliers.
