The right mini rib will be easier to make and install because the right side of of the trim tab will be covered by a fiberglass fairing.
I also got the left elevator counterweight bolts installed and torqued.

Trim tab 2.0 part 1: 4 hours
I got a good bit of work done on my second trim tab but it is slow going. I got the tab bent to the correct angle then cut the ears off that you would have formed the bent over edges. I then fined tuned the shape of the trim tab ends to line up with the elevator. I also got the left mini rib (aka riblet) made. It turned out good.
