Vans cannot source the correct push rods right now, so they are sending out ones that are slightly narrower inside. You need to get a 7/16” reamer to make the AN490-HT8P (AKA VA-4908P) rod ends fit.

Part WD-421-R, the bellcrank, is used in several models. The RV-10 plans show it without nut-plate mounting holes for the autopilot servo attachment. Ignore those extra holes for the RV-10. See also this VAF thread or this FB post

Important: Read this VAF thread on rivet interference with rear spar. Aileron may jam in full up position if rivet has ability to be in contact with spar.
