My plane uses these type of hinges. There is no mention of clearance between them on the plans. There has to be some clearance to account for paint, slight misalignment, etc? Here is a picture. The ones on the left have a 1/16" spacing between them and the ones on the right have a 1/32" spacing. The 1/32 looks about right or go maybe a few thousandths less. Spacers are only there for welding and positioning. An AN3 clevis pin will be used for the final assembly. Thoughts on clearance from those with experience with these type of hinges. They are for the elevators and rudder.
