Having assembled the elevator pulley assembly, I think as per Fuselage Manual Detail A Page 29, which I interpret as requiring AN960-416L washers on each side of the pulleys and only one washer at the nut end of the bolt, a total of 4.


Is that the correct interpretation of the Detail A drawing on Page 29?


The washers were extremely difficult to insert either side of the pulleys within the lugs and now prevent the rotation of the pulleys, which I think will be essential for free elevator cable operation.

I have checked the Mil Specs of the AN960-416L washers as supplied and they are within limits.


I am reluctant to modify the casting to freely fit the washers, in case there is another solution
