I just finished fitting out the aileron bellcrank assembly (rt wing) for the TruTrak  autopilot. With the TruTrak bracket mounted which doubles the metal on the top of the bellcrank bracket. (See pg 23-4)  I find that the AN4-32A bolt is too short to catch the nylock part of the #4 bolt.



I checked the bolt scale supplied by vans and it seems that a AN4-33A

should give enough thread to catch the Nylock part of the bolt threads.



It is interesting that TruTrak did not mention this in their excellent installation diagrams.  Has anyone else had the same issue? It would be disastrous to loose this bolt in flight.

I just used the size which fit the best.  I do remember possibly needing a 

longer bolt somewhere around there.  You are the A&P for your airplane, 

build it the best way you see fit
