    Default S7 Rudder Cable Pulleys

    I'm starting my build of the "Owyhee Fox" and I've run into the first item that doesn't make sense to me. In the reaming process the build manual (Rev D Dtd 1/23) it calls to ream the the rudder cable pulley mounting holes to .3125", the problem is they're already close to 3/8" with the powder coat still in the bore. I inserted the pulley with the called out AN5 bolt and there's a bunch of slop since the hole "appears" oversized from the factory. I'm probably overthinking this but is this normal and has anyone else encountered this?

    Mine is the same... I just got my rudder pedals mounted yesterday, so had not gotten to installing the pulleys at this point yet.

    Questions like this I would just send Brandon a message and he is pretty quick to respond. I recall ours needing to be reamed. I don't think there will be an issue with some play on the pulleys but checking with the factory and letting them know about this so they can correct things if needed.
