Yeah, I know... I'm leading.

Seriously though, I noticed that the rods were metric when we first went to field-replace the aileron clevises and a member offered me a replacement that just didn't work. Those Hayes ones worked well because they're not threaded, so they'll go onto any threading as long as the rod isn't smaller than the opening of the clevis.

I can't remember if I mentioned it here or not, but the wing bolts weren't long enough. I had to hit up Lowes to get some metric bolts that would work (and I had to Dremel the heads of the bolts to fit the small wing nuts). The wing doesn't shift anymore since I replaced the bolts that came with the ARF with longer ones from Lowes. (The wing on this plane can be with or without dihedral, depending on which brace you use and is held together with bolts and wing nuts that attach to the brace through the bottom of the wing.)
