I have attached pictures of the bronze bushing pivot point I have installed on my MK3X in the flap bell-crank area. In my opinion everyone should consider doing this also. This can only be done by making addition brackets to hold the bushing. There is not enough metal available to simply install the bushing to the existing metal tang area. This modification is easy to do as your building the plane but not easily modified on existing aircraft as the hinges would have to be shifted over because of the thickness of the new plate that holds the bushing. I can see excessive wear in this area without the bushings. I have installed bushings in the elevator to boom tube also.
