Hi again all,
any ideas on what amount you torque the AN 3 and AN 4 bolts that attach the various
pushrods etc etc on the RV wings and fuselage.

AC 43.13 has torque specs for AN, MS, and NAS bolts. You should use those for
"rigid" joints, i.e. joints where play isn't designed into the joint. A
rod-end joint would be an example of a "rigid" joint, whereas a hinge where the
bolt acts a pivot wouldn't. When the joint isn't "rigid," the nut on the bolt
has to be secured by some positive method such as a cotter pin.
Two really good references on bolts (and other hardware) are John Schwaner's
"Sky Ranch Engineering Manual" and Carroll Smith's "Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and
Plumbing Handbook."
