Is it a rivet rubbing on a rivet, or the bar rubbing on a rivet?
Mine rubbed with the wings not mounted to the plane, where you got
an excess of supply of aileron movement. On the cradle I tried to
ensure that the rivet manufactured heads were toward eachother
as they are smaller and rounded and would be less prone to
touching and catching.
But, once mounted to the airplane and the wings and everything in
place, I don't get the movement required to get them to come together
like that. Depending on the locations and quantities of spacers,
you may be able too add/move/remove them as necessary to separate
those parts a touch too, as long as you're careful and think about
exactly what could be the ramifications. Additionally, on my
pushrods, I gave those shop heads a special squishing to keep them
from being s pronounced, but you may find it a complete non-issue
after you mount everything permanently on the fuselage.
If you're not mounted up yet, you may wish to just add that to
a checklist of things to check fully before you fly. You may
find no problem later.

After mounting my LH aileron and connecting the bellcrank to aileron
pushrod, I find that the pushrod rubs against a rivet shop head that is
part of the aileron mounting bracket. Anyone else run into this?
So far, I've dismounted it, checked all the spacers and washers per the
plans and remounted. It is still rubbing.
This shouldn't be too difficult to resolve but a solution isn't obvious
yet. Just looking for any similar experiences and approaches.
