Default RE: need to level horizontal fin...how?

trying to cut thru the epoxy with dental floss and then trying to align the stab all over again looked like alittle too much effort so i bought the smallest "I" bolt that i could find at home depot, actually (4) of them and i glued them to the top of the rudder near the upper corner of the LE on both sides and then glued the bolts on each side of the stab towards the fartest corner. Then i cut a 2-56 rod to length put on metal clevis' found the amount of tension i needed to pick up the stab and snapped them on the "I" bolts.

I didn't need the rods on both sides but at least it looks symmetrical.

Problem solved my stab now lines up with my wings and it was a cheap and easy fix. It doesnt look pretty but noones gonna see it in the air.
