Looking at the drawing for 7A (Rudder) and 30 (Emp & tailwheel attach) I don't see reference to how far the heim joints should be from the rudder to mount to the vert stab (at least to start with). I have been doing some work on the tail so replaced all hardware. The upper two bolts that go through the stinger mount and vert stab in section C-C of drawing 30 call for AN4-6A but I used AN4-7A when I replaced them because not enough threads were showing (I think they even had the thin washers).
I now have the tail of the AN4-7A hitting the bottom fiberglass faring on the rudder before I hit the stops. I'd like to validate the distance the rudder should be from the vert stab before I go back to seeing if I need to use a low profile nut on a 6A bolt or washers on the bolt head of the 7A.
