torque tube tolerances

[Ron Shannon]

A couple of issues:

First, I've found that my torque tubes are _very_ close to the bottom of
the ST-31 channel which will hold the torque tube hangar bracket. As it
is, I may have only 1/16" between the torque tubes and the hangar
bracket channels. Is that going to be a problem? The manual doesn't warn
that these parts may be very close, and there's darn little room, if
any, to set the channels higher even if I wanted to redo them, which I'd
rather not, of course.

Second, my right side (long) torque tube is about as short as it can be
-- maybe too short. The manual calls for AN3-11 bolts through the W-62-1
spacers between the horns at the wing root, which suggests a maximum
spacing between those horns of about 9/16". When set to that spacing at
the wing root, I have approx. 3/16" between the inboard torque tube
horn's end cap rivets, and the hangar bracket. The question is, what is
the usual and/or maximum spacing between the torque tube horns at the
wing root (W-62), and/or what is the maximum spacing between the inboard
torque tube horn and the hangar bracket?

Third, am I worrying too much? :-)
