Ok so I had a chance to take everyones suggestions and made the changes today.
Circled in Red is a ball end for an AN3 bolt with a 1/4-28 shank. Circled in blue is a weld in rod end blank that will be drilled out for an AN3 bolt. This will keep the internal pushrod from rotating. The reverser is now made from a piece of Square tubing to make fabrication a bit easier. Only thing I may change is the bent metal yoke parts likely need a larger radii around the AN3 bolt hole to have more edge clearance. I also upped the diameter of the main yoke tube a bit from that used on the Lil Bitts since the Skylite has a longer internal pushrod so Ed chose .5" in diameter and I needed more clearance for it to raise and lower as it actuates.
Now for another question. How much stroke (stick movement) should I am for in Pitch and Roll. I currently have about 25 degrees in each axis from neutral. I can back figure what I have to a linear dimension if needed, but it seems quite a bit in the CAD model so far.
Thanks again to everyone for their suggestions. I am feeling a bit better about this over the side loaded rod end.
