Try this part number from McMaster-Carr http://www.mcmaster.com/. 93085A831
It's a #10 countersunk machine screw. You can pick a different length if
you'd like, just make sure you have the correct number of threads showing
past the nyloc.

Can anyone tell me the part No for the machine screws that secure the
elevator hinge to the horiz stab ? Are they a non structural screw. ie An
526?

To Group,
Not sure if we have discussed this or not but rudder cable tension. We have
always tighten the cables than looked for about 1" of deflection of the
cable when pulling up on it.
Has worked fine but thanks to Mark and a Cable tension checker he bought fro
the zenith we started playing with different tensions. We have decided that
about 25lbs works well for the Lightning.
The cables are loose enough to be free but also not stretch under air-load.
Probably not something you want to buy for a one time thing but the cables
should be checked every year at annual so a good investment. Maybe someone
in your EAA chapter has one you can borrow.
