Hay Fred,
Don=92t fret. I did mine just like yours:
It works just fine. That=92s the way my instructions said to do it:
Trim servo
Step 5
Unpack the MAC electric trim servo and study all the instructions.
Cut off a 32 mm (11/4=93) piece of the threaded rod and screw on the two
plastic fork-ends until they are
butted together.
There must have been a change in the instructions somewhere along the
way.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

Don=85not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I thank you nonetheless for
responding to my request=85after poking around a bit, I don=92t see any
insurmountable problems to trimming my plastic clevises at this late
stage of the game.
Though I=92m wondering=85when you =93shorten(ed) the fork ends=94, were
you trimming literally the ends of forks thru which the clevis pin
fits?=85or did you shorten what I=92ll call the base of the clevis,
i.e., the opposite end where the two clevises abut one another after
being brought together by the threaded rod?
Good luck with your paperwork=85I=92m rather envious,
Fred
