DaveB, I used the factory recommended installation and have no slop in the controls. I did find a little slop after installation, but it turned out to that I hadn't tightened the bellcrank bolt enough. Once I had tightened it down, and had all the controls setup nice I cut the bolts to length and added a drop of thread lock to them. It really is a nice clean setup once it's complete.

wascamp, did you talk to Ken at the factory to find out where things went wrong on the rod lenths? It's looking good. Did you get kicked out of the house with the kit? Looks like a lot of sunshine in those photos!
