I've hit this same problem on many planes in the past.  The hookup from the elevator pushrod to the elevator horn happens in a normally restricted space, between the fuselage sides.  Bending  1/16" music wire into an "L" takes up too much space, and clearance is gained by hacking away some of the fuselage sides!

I've used those spring-loaded connectors, called "kwik-links", threaded 4/40, but I'm afraid they are not strong enough.

Ball links are out of the question, because they are BIG.

If you have a better idea, can you describe it so I can understand?

Thanks,

But I'm talking big stuff here!  62" span with RO-Jett 76.  Looking for a really strong clevis that will fit.'

Its a pretty common problem on classic ships especially. I have found that UHP (?) makes a machined clevis that is very solid, though not especially skinny.
Personally I use a self fabricated attechment that just has a bushed hole in an aluminum pinch block that slides on the horn for adjustment ( flap to elevator ratio adjustment) Pat Johnston showed me this. I think his mustang article in Model Aviation had pictures of it

Balsa peices cured the lack of space for my King Sweep.   I am no ashamed to cut holes in the fuselage sides to get clearance at the elevator horn. 

Hi Doc,

Several of my "Classic" planes have "scab" under the stab to cover a hole for the elevator horn.  A side benefit is that it adds a bit more wood to support the stab.
