This is my elevator control horn from a 1998-1999 MKII tail.  The distance from the center to the hole (pictured on top) is ~ 2-3/4”  (Probably similar to yours in that it is slightly more)

 

The description tag identifies it as the “Elevator Control Horn” part number EL-055-02 for a “IV/320”  Yeah, I didn’t expect that.

Angier -- Your elevator bracket is the older one of the two I mentioned.  Although not as old as Scott ... err, I mean "Scott's"  (Okay, Scott, we're even now.) You measured 3.75 inches from the pivot to the pushrod.  The new ones have 2.75 (I measured 2.865 but 2-3/4 is close enough).  I would recommend drilling a second hole 1 inch closer than the one you have now.  There is no need to replace the bracket with a new one, and if the hole is already there, you can swap it easily after flight tests.  Although I would start with the pushrod at the inner location.

 

I was unaware of the early aluminum brackets.  This explains why the bracket kit I bought for $500 in 1994 had "extra parts".
