I am ready to rivet the trailing edge of my first aileron.  Should I
proseal and cleco it to a piece of angle, like Van's recommends for the
trailing edge of the rudder?

Hello,

I need to press fit the flap bracket bushing to the flap bracket.   Should I
drill the bracket out to 3/8 or should it be slightly Undersize?  If
undersize, what size have people used?

Thanks.

Cheers,

Pete

It has been quite a while since I installed the subject bushings, but my
recollection is that the brackets were already bored for the proper
interference fit of the bushings.  To install the bushings, I used a 1/4
inch dia bolt with a washer, then the bushing on one side of the bracket and
a 1/4 inch drive socket that will comfortably clear the bushing OD on the
other side and draw the bushing into place using a nut.  If you go too far
it is easy to reverse the process. This also insures that the bushing starts
in square with the bore.  This approach will usually work for installation
of many sizes of press in bushings.
