Ken, didn’t think of epoxying the strap.

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.
