Europa-List: Wing pip pin clearance

Hi everybody,

While going over everything one last time before inspection, I noticed that I 
neglected to install the limiting washers on the pip pin for the wings. I did 
install the spring washer on the spar cup, but for whatever reason never 
completed the "washer limiter" on the cockpit side.

I fiddled with it yesterday and realized that my pip pin is hitting something 
before the balls exit the spar cup hole. I can't see what it is hitting from 
the access hole in the belly and I can't see it from the side either due to 
the way I attached the wing root fairings to the side of the fuselage. I think

it's hitting the aileron belcrank, though.

Has anybody had any trouble with this? If so, what's the solution? I thought 
about just doing away with the pip pin altogether and installing a similar pin

arrangement as the right side.

Thanks!

Regards,
