Jim,
I used a braided bonding strap. One end epoxied to the inside radius
of the leading edge of the elevator. Use the same conductive epoxy used to
bond the static wick base plates.
Find a spot on the lower (carbon) side of the inspection hole
cover mounting flange, drill and countersink a hole to install a flat head
strew pointing inboard that will be flush with the inspection panel flange and
not interfere with the inspection hole cover. Crimp a ring terminal to the
other end of the bonding strap and attach it to the screw. One nut to hold
the screw in place and a jam nut to hold the ring terminal.
With enough slack, tie wrap the bonding strap to the elevator control horn
for strain relief.

Please advise me on the preferred acceptable method of
electrically connecting the elevators to the fus on a L-IVPT. Static wicks are
attached to the elevator and have continuity between them. But there doesn’t
appear to be a connection to the fus.
Thanks in advance.
