Concerning my Rudder Pedal Blocks, I have two issues. First my AN3-22A bolts are bottoming out on the nutplate. The bolt is too long by 1/4". I might just take the blame for it is possible that when I separated the F-1235A Rudder Pedal Blocks, I may have removed too much material separating the two halves. This is easy fix for I will simply order (6) AN3-20 bolts.
My Second issue is how snug should the blocks hug the Rudder Pedal Shaft. If I place the Blocks on the Rudder Pedal Shaft to check the gap between both blocks, I can place (2) AN-960 washers in the gap between the top and bottom block and I will have a small amount of slack, but this will "Clamp" the block on the shaft very tightly, however if I place (2) AN-960 and (1) AN-960L between the Block halves there will be a little slack in the Shaft/Block before I torque bolt in place.
Should I just use (3) AN-960 and ensure that I do not bind the Rudder Pedals?
