Also Was Wondering About Stabilator Bushings

Has anyone noticed?

See Figure 1 on Page 32-14. The stabilator cables are routed thru the forward and aft flange of the center section bulkhead (F-1204A and D) and then thru the baggage bulkhead (F-1206A). Per the plans, bushings are not shown on the figure nor have they been inserted via a plan step. This is the ONLY place where bushings have NOT been specified when cables pass thru a CIRCULAR hole in a bulkhead or flange.

Was this an oversight? I sent an e-mail to Van's today.
