I think I may have the solution to this dilemma - Pull / Pull.

Just checked mine that I bought two or three months ago and found the same
thing. I also noticed that the holes where the arms are inserted are not
centered. This is probably what's causing the problem.

> I checked mine last night and I found the same thing.  Looseness and the
tabs where not aligned.  I was wondering why I was having a bit of a problem
with the differential when I was setting up.  I also noticed a slight snap
in the setup and thought it was in my connectors being loose but it was the
looseness of the assembled bellcrank. Know I know why.  When you tighted the
assembly the tabs can twist due to the slop. I too did the c/a trick and it
is tight and square now.
> BTW this was the black MK Bellcrank and I purchased it last June '02 from
Central Hobbies.  Definitely a Japanese product as you could barely
understand the broken English.

ca bonding a carbon strip on the flats and reshaping.

quality and possible availability of these ones when I receive the samples.

a couple e-mails from other builder flyers that 1) have no alignment problem
and 2) do have an alignment problem. It appears as though it may be a bad
batch so heads up.
