Sounds good about using the spacers. I may go ahead and add some just to
make the pushrod come into better alignment, thus get full travel also. I'm
also measuring the bellcranks for accuracy this weekend.

The cotter pin/castle nut should keep the bolt

Over the years, I've ended up with thickwall aluminum tubing for just about
every size bolt.

If the bolt can rotate with the control
Thanks Larry -- I understood it was a metal washer, now I understand what
you were protecting against. The alum. tube spacer was ordered just for
this purpose and is heavy wall.

If the bearing comes loose from the rod end, the hole is larger
than the castle nut and normal washer. Hence the request for a
A970/aka Wood washer.
