As the "other poster" the main thing I was saying was to comply with the
design Tech Note which would mean not going to a non-standard bearing size
or specification. As for "used parts" it depends on whether you can be
sure that they were the correct parts in the first place and what has
happened to them since new.

Hmmmm,
All 3 of the birds I have in the barn are 19mm, you may have a problem
in getting SH to come up with what was an early change to the design.
I'll take a look at the elevator side to see how much of a hassle it
would be to change both sides of the hook-up.

Another poster said you shouldn't consider "used parts". My response
would be; What do you think a 39 year old sailplane is, if not a
collection of used parts flying in close formation?
