After quite a bit of fussing, I got the forward end of the elevator pushrod assembled to
to the bearing and the bearing to the control column. I couldn't get a combination of washers
exactly the right width, so there was a small gap between the ears before torqueing the bolt.
Maybe I'll order some washer shims from McMaster to handle this kind of thing in the future.

After getting the pushrod boot installed, it became apparent that I was going to have to take
all this back apart again. Turns out the pushrod comes very close to the
bottom of the hole...just the slightest pressure causes it to rub. I have seen other builders
have this issue as well and the solution isn't hard, but it requires me to disassemble and remove
the pushrod that I just installed. Grrr.
