You would be looking for an elevator trim tab from a 170 or 170A as the B and L-19 are different. I would think some skin material could be purchased an your old one reskined unless of course there is more to the bends in yours than the skin. I do have an extra set of A model elevators with a tab but suspect my tab won't be much better than the one you have.

thanks for your response...

my trimtab is wonky and bent.. its up on the left, down on the right...

what i have found on McFarlane is the bottom and top skins. I guess i could order those and have them put together by a metal shop..
