the control stick bolt. AN-4-7 (I think) is to short to get the required 3

A good departed friend taught me this very simple trick.

If the castelated nut does not snug up enough on the bolt after you line up
the cotter pin hole, remove the nut, place the bearing surface of the nut on a
flat file and rub generously to remove a small amount of material. You will
be surprised how quickly this will permit you to get a more snug fit with the
cotter pin hole lined up with the bolt hole. This modification to the nut
helps to remove excess play in the stick control mechanisim and other joints. Of
course, it will also remove the rust preventative coating, but greasing the
assembly will help to prevent any rusting.
