Just a note that the Flap Bellcrank Replacement SB, with the reinforced bell
crank for the IV is not a simple drop-in job.  

The factory supplied replacement had a different length of throw, which
required the hydraulic cylinder rod end to be let out to the witness hole,  
and it also threw the flap adjustments to the hinterlands.

My suggestion is to SCRIBE  your name on your old bracket and send back to
verne for reinforcement at snowline with the request that it be returned to
you.

 It took me several  hours to change out the bracket, and I expected several
more hours to retune my flap push rods adjustments.  Since it encroached the
witness hole,  the whole effort was for nil, and the only other option was to
redrill the cylinder hinge bracket in the gearbox while it sat in the
plane....not my idea of fun at all.

The problem with requesting your own bracket back is that your plane is going
to be sitting AOG for about two weeks or more while the mod is done.
