Provide stress relief for the connector by anchoring it to the sidewall a couple inches aft of the connector. Your main intent should be to eliminate any movement or ability to vibrate at the connector. Vibration and movement are connector killers. If you can isolate movement by installing adell clamps or some other such anchoring device at least an inch forward and an inch aft of the connector, you will ensure that the connector will provide reliable service for years....IMHO Curtis Krouse N753K > Doug Waddington wrote: ...Now I am wondering if I need to install some sort of connector at the leading edge of the rudder to facilitate rudder removal at some point in the future. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
