When I was in the army they told me, "Private, you don't get paid enough to THINK!" I'm beginning to see the wisdom in that - everytime I start thinking, instead of following the directions, I get in trouble! I devised a clever method of match drilling the elevator horns. My jig required a #9 drill (Oh no! you didn't drill a #9 hole!! Yes, I did). Then after looking at the plans I realized the rod end attaches with a AN3 bolt, not a AN4 as I assumed. What do I do now? I see three options. A) Install the AN3 bolt and tighten it down - it probably won't make any difference. B) Weld up the #9 holes and drill them again with a 3/16th drill (there goes the nice powder coat finish). C) Open the holes up to 1/4th and buy a new rod end with a 1/4th in. hole. I like option C, but I am concerned with the edge distance from the larger holes. I appreciate any suggestions or words of sympathy.
