So.. Perfect piece came out from todays work, but from the wrong material as Vans has sent out a SB (Service Bulletin) in which this piece (F-1012D, Up Elevator Stop) should be made from another material (AA6-125X1X1 1/4X5). This is also included in the Empennage Kit, but it doesn’t say anything in the kit that you have two pieces of metal for creating the same F-1012D Up Elevator Stop, and only one should be used. This is on you to find out.
This information is relevant to all RV10 Empennage Kits purchased after April 2012.
Synopsis (from the Service Bulletin):
In April 2012 the lower aft portion of the elevator horn was removed. See the trimmed face called out in Figure 1. This portion of the horn typically needs to be removed for use on most RV aircraft. The RV-10 does not require this trim. It has come to our attention that due to production tolerances it would be possible for the horn to jam against the up elevator control stop. This condition would also permit excessive elevator up travel. If either of these problems exist, the aft stop F-1012D Up Elevator Stop should be replaced.

UPDATE: I have written a few more words about it in this post.
