OK, no worries. Perfect pic to illustrate John! Yes, the clevis pins need to be "just the right length". If your local place doesn't have them, you can get them from D&R. On TRW, after I added the boom vang, the open, "middle" part of the U-joint started to collapse/distort, so I made a solid SS one. Also, I note in the D&R pic (which is also upside-down) that they are using cotter pins on the clevis pins. I've been using circlips all along, and they get quite distorted in that application, so I'm gonna change to cotters as well ...
