Thanks for the replies on the dash trim piece!! now on to the next question I have... I have the elevator rigged with the jig called out on page 39-10 figure 1. This results in the inside AN3-10 bolt on the bottom of the WD-1011L/R stick base weldment hitting the 1033-L/R control column mount at the full aft stick and full left or right roll. Archives seem to point toward discounting the jig and I guess the fix is to shorten the F-1089 and/or F-1090 to bring the WD-1011-L/R lower bolts aft and away from the 1033 while still maintaining the desired full up elevator deflection and contact to elevator stops. Doing this would basically ignore the jig setting, and thats ok?? I put the head of the bolts in opposite what the plans show and still have contact.
Thanks for any input.

I recall having the same issue; however, mine was fixed by reversing the direction of the bolts, which you say you have already done.

You certainly do not want them catching, you need to fine tune as needed to avoid that. Of course, you may have trouble at the other end, too, with the stick hitting the instrument panel. Depends on what stick grip you use. I was able (but not with a lot of margin) find a setting that avoided both problems.

good luck.

Re the stick hitting the panel. Can be dependent on panel choice but
seems like even the standard panel needs to have the stick modified a
bit. I bent mine to reduce it's height. Others have cut and welded to
shorten it and move it back a bit from the panel.

Thanks for the insight again Bob/Bill, I was able shorten the 1089 and 1090
a bit and get everything to miss everything. For good measure I carefully
rounded the corner of the 1033 control support along its lower outside edge.
My coolie hat on the right stick just misses the bottom of the panel. My
left stick is fine. There seems to be a slight difference in the weldments
between left and right stick, the left stick cleared the 1033 before the
right. With this set up my jig for the stick neutral is about a half of bolt
hole off, I think this is will be ok. Also no interfernce is seen on any of
the control rods and bellcranks going back to the elevators.
Thanks
Chris
