I am trying to install a Dubro tail wheel bracket in a 40 sized taildragger. The problem I am having is that when I tapped a hole for the rod that goes in the elevator it hits the hinge. The rod wont fit all the way into the rudder. Can I cut the rod shorter or is there another way to get around the hinge? Also what is the best way to get a snug fit for the rod in the rudder? Dubro doesnt give as much as a diagram for installation. In this hobby it seems like a lot of accessories come that way. What might seem pretty basic to a pro can prove to be quite a challenge to those newer in the hobby if the accesory doesnt come with any instructions.
