Just spoke with Kevin at Vans Tech Support and he wanted folks to know that if you're worried about thread engagement and wish your existing rod end bearing was a touch longer—Vans sells rod end bearings that are the same in all respects, except 1/4" longer.

We talked about one rod end bearing in particular (mounting the elevator to the horizontal stab), so you may need to call the parts team to inquire about others.

Original — MD3614M
Longer — Bearing MM-3M-42

Thank you Kevin!

That is all, carry on.

They have had them for quite some time now. I bought a few last year and bought some before that. Good reminder though.
