Elevator - Counter Balance Assembly

This is kind of a fun sub-assembly to put together.

Parts were all pre-cleaned, de burred, and treated with Bondrite.

I fully assembled the counter balance using Clecos

I was shorted multiple 3.2x12mm domed rivets and the staff down in Torrence sent me out some spares next day.

Final assembly skipped the installation of elevator balance weights per notification #0009
