Annoyed

For the first time I´m feeling annoyed at Vans.

First I must be honest and start with letting you know that my feelings might be affected by having spent 30 minutes searching before finding the E-bushing that I knew I placed in some smart location. ;)

The reason I´m annoyed is because of the many errors on page 11-03:
- The spacer is marked as being 2inch high, that is 50.8mm not 5.8
- The spacer is shown as being significantly wider that deep... not what the numbers tell you
- The HS-911 & VA-146A is not riveted together in the picture, is is done in chapter 8 (Should I drill them out now to get a better surface for the spacer?)
- In the latest revision it tells you to match drill using a #30 drill and the E-bushing is marked as having a .120 3mm hole. My E-bushing has a 4.5-4.6mm hole and the older revision has you drill with a #17 drill. (The older version makes much more sense) The purist in me is also annoyed by the fact that they change things without mentioning it in the revision history (maybe there has been a revision in between with it listed)

The only thing I got done today was making the E-bushing get a perfect fit into the VA-146A. I did not drill.... the main reason is that I have just about exactly the 13/16 space as described for the bearings on page 11-02 but for me this means that I have significantly more that the 1 5/8 space that is listed as a minimum on page 11-03. My question is, should I turn the bearing in a half, one on more turns to get a closer spacing (checking the travel of course) or should I just move on as I have more than a listed minimum spacing? My elevators looks just like the spacing in Figure 5 on page 11-03.

I´ll sleep on it and read up on forum and builders sites.
