REFLECTOR: Rudder cable attch point

Hi Terry
This is a very common problem especially parked in the wind with out gust  
locks.
the hole in the rudder horn is drilled to close to the end.

When I preflight my  rudder, the rudder cable end flips over on it self at 
the bell crank and then  won't retract the control surface all the way back 
because it’s bent back on  itself.  A tap with an inserted long screwdriver is all 
that is needed to  get it to rotate back the way it should.  
I checked / the  factory.  Solutions are replace what I have / an AN111 cable 
 bushing.  They also said some have fixed this with a strategically placed  
zip tie or the like to prevent this.  Even a gust of wind on the ramp can  do 
this to me.  I cannot see in there good enough to say more yet until I  pull 
the rudder off, but I thought I would check in  advance. 
Anybody have any  experience with this?   
Regards, 
Terry
