I installed the control stick linkage today. This took quite a bit of trial and error fitting of washer spacing vs. torque values to get everything moving freeley. The bushings holding the control sticks in place had to be shortened as well to fit between the "ears" holding the bushing. Here it is imperitive that the bushing is slightly longer than the control stick weldment so that the bolt torques down on the bushing but does not bind the movement of the control stick.
Like i said, lots of trial and error while trying to fit tiny parts in tiny places. (magnets help). It took the better part of the day to just get these control sticks mounted.
