Control Pulleys

Installed some more control pulleys.  We found what appears to be a mistake in the manual where they called for AN4-17A bolts for some of the aileron pulleys, but those are too long and the nuts bottom out before tightening to the pulleys, so we swapped them out for 4N-15A.  Didn't have enough of the shorter bolts so we have to order more. 

Ran into another issue when we went to install plastic fairleads that protect the cables.   We have 20 fairleads, but are missing the clips to install them.  They are checked off on our inventory, which means they are "somewhere" in the shop, but can't find them anywhere after searching for 45 minutes.  So looks like we'll be ordering some of those, too.
