As I was making the barrel nuts Rob Felton stopped by the lathe. I took the opportunity to get his advice on securing the barrel nuts and rodends in the pushrods. The manual states to use AN3-10 bolts and the AC43.1.1B states that rondends should be double revitted. As I was going to use loctite 421 to hold the rod end in place and fix them I asked Rob if he considered that the bolts would be sufficent. He agreed that thay would be as long as I had the designated two threads showing above the lock nut. The loctite would serve to hold everything in place to prevent movement and the barrel nuts will take up the delta between the male rod end and the ID of the push rod tube.
Note: Rob is only giving me his opinion based on his experience. NO liabaility is inferred or implied on my part.
