After fitting my clevis pins to the trim tab horns, I noticed that I’ll not be able to get all three washers on that the plans call for and still insert the cotter pin. I figure that should be okay, as there’ll be no play in the system. Reason why I’m asking instead of just going ahead is that Van’s has been pretty good at stating Maximum or Minimum of ## washers if you’re allowed wiggle room. Any one handy to their airplane that’s seen this and has a fix?
Of course I could be reading the plans wrong, but I see them as stating that all the washers go outside the horn tabs. I have no pic yet.

After flying my -6A for about four years, the hole in the trim tab horn started to wear resulting is some freeplay in the tab. This is another way to get flutter, a trim tab that floats.
I found a piece of steel brake line from my junk pile that had a 3/16 I.D. and a very thin wall. Cut a piece about 3/32 long, drill out the trim tab hole so it was a light press fit, used some JB Weld on the joint. Now it won't ever wear. As I recall, it then took a thin washer on each side of the pin.
