| Subject: | Elevator assembly |
Couple of questions for the experts:
I am attaching the elevator on my Kitfox IV.
At the end of the elevator push-rod there is a rodend that is attached
to the elevator with an AN23-15A (slotted head), this process was much
easier before the fuselage was covered.
Any downside to substituting with the equivalent size Hex bolt?
Also when attaching the elevator to the horizontal stabilizer 4 of the
6 clevis pins are not through enough for me to access the hole.
Any downside to getting a slightly longer clevis pin?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks Rick, KitFox IV 912.
90% done, 90% to go.

On mine the hex head would poke through the fabric. It's a fun bolt to
tighten. I use a ground screwdriver inserted sideways in the slot.

No.

Rick, like Guy points out, the reason for the AN23-15A Clevis Bolt is that a hex
head bolt will wear a hole in the fabric. Use an offset screw driver to install
it. I think I remember using the side of the tip of a straight screw driver
too.
I had to use AN960-10L (light washers) and no washers on the heads of the pins
to get enough clearance for the cotter pins. If that doesn't give enough clearance
you may need to file off a little bit of the outside ends of the stab side
of the hinges.
