RV-10 Flap Attach Hole Bushings

Inserted the 1/4 X 3/8 X .250 bushings in the flap attach holes today. Seemed too long so I put a caliper on them and found them to be 1/2 inch instead of 3/8. Measured the gap on the flap brackets and it seems that 3/8 is even too large for the gap in the brackets. Page 22-8 Figure 4 of the RV-10 Plans. Did I get the wrong bushings from Vans or am I missing something? Thanks.
 
By coincidence, I happened to install mine about 10 days ago. They fit fine - 3/8 in length, extended just enough outside the hinge brackets that they provide maybe 0.5mm of clearance on both sides. Test fit with my QB flaps perfectly. Everything moves with no binding.

My guess is they sent you the wrong parts.
 
Yep. That was it. After talking with tech and some more measuring they were the wrong length. Problem resolved. Thanks.
