Fixed the elevator trim tab to the hinge and attached the motor and actuator. With the clevis pin in place I have about 0.5mm of play. The pin is very slightly loose in the trim tab horn. Is this acceptable?

After couple thousand hours of flying I had considerable play in elevator trim tab due to an elongated hole. I fly an RV9A. A good friend of mine machined a bushing out of a rivet. Fits perfect feels tight. Thanks Julian!
If my math is correct .5 mm is less than .020 "
.020 " free play at the the trailing edge is totally fine.
