Here is my second lesson that I have learned since I started building my
320.  Look at everything!!!!!  I mean everything!!  Every slip of paper,
every written paper, and anything else that you can possible look at before
proceding.

I didn't do that, and now I have a question.  I didn't notice that a
Bellcrank Bearing drawing came with the bell-crank bearings.  So, I built
the aileron idler arms according to what I saw in the manual.  I sure wish
that I would have looked at the inventory sheets inside the bearing bags.
Because the manual and the bearing instruction drawings are way different.
So........my question is......which one is correct?  Does anyone know?  The
idler arms function quite well built the way the manual describes them.

[I don't know which is which, but the bearings go together back-to-back
sandwiched in between the two idler arm halves.  Seeing as how the rivet
holes are already provided on your parts from the factory, the alignment
should be a done deal.  I used a bolt through both bearings to insure that
everything stayed lined up during assembly.  Use clecos in all unriveted
holes and work your way around.  Hope this helps.   <Marv>. ]
