Wing kit inventory, AST hinge replacement

I went through an did inventory of all the wing kit.  As far as it looks, we have everything.

With the receiving of a new hinge for the right AST assembly, I tackled the project.  I first removed the old hinge and made sure in drilling the new hinge that the holes would be in a position that would allow it to properly fit in the hinges on the stabilator. After riveting them together I attached it to the stabilator and it fit the nicely in the stabilator  hinge. I bolted the AST assemblies together and noticed the ends to line up with the stabilator.  Is this normal?  I will post to Vanairforce forum.

Time: 3 hrs.
