Default Shorter clevis for pull-pull?

I am finally finishing my 1/6 sport-scale Sopwith Camel scratch-build and I have run into a problem I don't know how to solve.

The exit points for my rudder pull-pull cables are too close to the horn ends if I use standard pull-pull end fittings. I need to have some kind of adjustment at the horn ends, unfortunately, because the way I have the servo ends set up I can't have adjustment. I have just barely 2 inches between the horn end and the side of the fuselage.

Yeah, I know, should have figured this out in the planning stage. Did I mention this is my FIRST scratch-build...

So does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a shorter clevis I could use? What about drilling out a normal clevis closer in to the threaded end and using music wire for the clevis pin?

Help!
