Control Sticks Drilled & Column Issues

I got all of the control columns and sticks initially assembled and drilled but I found an issue with the control column. The control column opening where the sticks are supposed to go are WAY too small. It is almost 1/8″ off in size. I’m going to call Vans tomorrow to see if there’s an issue here as the control stick bushing was below their measurements in the document (between 2 1/4 and 2 5/16 but mine was 2 7/64) and then the control stick opening on the control column was only 2 1/64″. Just way too far off to bend it into shape so we’ll see what they say. I might have to cut down the control stick mounts some to make it fit or they might say it is okay to bend it further open to make it fit, but man that’s just a LOT and the bracket will not be anywhere close to square at that point.
