That's a timely subject as have just finished fitting the taper pins to the counter shaft control and also the control column. The ones on the shaft and at the base of the column all have nuts on the end as would be a bit awkward if one dropped out however the ones that fit the control grip are just press fitted. I'm guessing yours would be the nutted variety.

Good question - the cross tube between identical left and right fittings actually goes inside the perforated tube. From the drawings I have seen the pins/rivets don't have nuts. Trying to find a photo reference for it. This is a critical point on the airframe (holds my wings on!) so I'm surprised it's not welded or bolted with some substantial bolts.
