Re: Position of 3-in-one tip wing tip lights to meet visibility requirements

trim cable anchor nut WD-415

My trim cable anchor nut angle appears to be incorrect causing alignment issues when mounting the trim cover plate to the elevator. My plan is to bend the anchor nut some to fit, has anyone else run into this problem?

Thanks
