I am building a -9A but I believe the answer applies to -7"s also. Drawing 33 shows the bare flap pushrod length should be 4 7/8" long, with an approximate distance between bearing centers at 6 5/8". The bare pushrods supplied in my kit were already cut, drilled and tapped at the 6 5/8" length. I have learned to stop and investigate issues like this when a part is already made up by Van's. I have not started cutting the holes in the bottom of the skin so I can't test fit just yet. I am hoping someone can confirm the correct length before I start cutting the rods and clearance holes. Thanks.
