All, check your weldments for complete welds before riveting things together. My elevator control horn came partially welded from Van's.

This is NORMAL. Van's does this because they know there is very little room for a bolt head and nut when you go to drill through the center bearing in the HS. I called Van's Tech support over a spacing issue and they mentioned they stop the weld in that area because so many builders have called to mention the hole is VERY close to the weld, leaving little to no room to get a wrench or socket around the bolt/nut.
