Also, I see you have a little experience with RV's, my hanger partner has an RV-7A, he is pushing 600 hours flying time on it, it is a hoot to fly in.

I am going to sand off the paint and install the bushings, but from looking at it, it doesn't appear the bushing will give me enough spacing. Maybe once I assemble it, it will become more clear. Where in northern Mi are you? I'm at 26W near Jackson. -Mike Kraus RV-4 sold :-( RV-10 flying :-) KitFox SS7 Radial building :-) On May 7, 2013, at 10:29 PM, "Lloyd & Lorrie Cudnohufsky" <7suds@Chartermi.net> wrote: > --> <7suds@chartermi.net> > > Mike, > Not sure if anyone has had an opportunity to help you yet, I am in the > middle of replacing my rudder cables on my Model 5, so I am working > with the very items you have concern with.

He said there are a few builders who have the problem I mentioned and they have created a bushing with a wider flange to ensure the bolt head clearances. He is going to send me out a set! Sounds like I'm all set.
