To finish up the aileron actuation section, I installed the main pushrods and the left bellcrank (the right bellcrank had been installed along with the autopilot servo):
Main aileron pushrod attached to bellcrank
Main aileron pushrod attached to wing root torque tube
I also took the opportunity to complete the last step from section OP-38, attaching the springs to the roll trim servo (and then shortening the wires enough that they don't hit the nearby screws:
Trim servo springs attached to aileron pushrod
Trim servo wiring inside the wing
When I mounted the actual aileron in place, I realized that, as it got actuated, it'd rub against the bracket rivets next to it, on both wings - so I replaced those with flush rivets:
Interference between a rivet head and the aileron
Interfering rivets removed and countersunk for flush-head rivets
Flush rivets installed on aileron brackets
I then attached the aileron-to-bellcrank pushrods:
Aileron-to-bellcrank pushrod installed
With that, the only remaining step in section 23 is actually attaching the pushrod to the aileron.
