      Clevis pins, AN393-?? What length?
      
      Washers, AN960-10Light, steel or alum?
      
      Cotter pins, MS24665- ?? Length?
      
      Nut plates, K1000 lockers, two ears

      Vincent: the answer to all of those questions is, "it depends".  Because the ears
      or tabs on the hinges can be left rough or cleaned up very square, the distance
      between the outside faces of the two-tab half of the hinge will vary with
      the builder.  Yes, the clevis pins should be AN393, but the length will have
      to be determined experimentally.  I personally like to use thin steel washers
      back there (anything to save weight on the tail), and I like to use fairly long
      cotter pins because my eyes aren't that great and my fingers aren't that slender
      and the longer ones are easier to thread through the clevis pin holes.  Besides,
      I cut them short with side cutters so there is just enough length to wrap
      each clipped leg halfway around the clevis pin (I dislike leaving the legs
      long).  All of this takes a heck of a lot more time than you think it would,
      and because the @#$%& things keep wanting to spin on you when you try to bent
      the cotter pin legs back around the clevis pin, it's much easier to do if you
      have a patient and understanding helper available when you get ready to cotter
      the little suckers.  For use during building, I just slide some .049 safety wire
      through them and give it a twist because I know I'll be putting them on and
      taking them off a couple of times during fitting and rigging.  Cotters go in
      at final installation.
