So I just started fitting up my elevators to the stab to drill the horn and get them ready to fit to the fuse. I installed the rod ends to 13/16 " to the center of the bearing hole. when I mounted them up the counter weight arms were binding so tight I couldn't move the elevator. I ended up turning the rod ends out 3 full turns each and they fit fine now. Is this an adequate solution? I took one of the rod ends out and did some measuring and there seems to be an adequate amount of thread left inserted....but I don't know the rule on this. If there is in fact a "rule". For what it's worth...with the jamb nut tightened, I'm showing 4 threads exposed which looks similar to other folks'.
