The other day one of my inner gear door cylinders managed to rotate enough
so the rod end bearing unscrewed from the cylinder shaft. It looks like
the stop nut came loose and allowed it to rotate. The only problem was a
gear door flapping in the breeze and loss of both the hat shapped bushing,
called out as a spring alinger, and the large stop washer. I had a spare
cylinder so I just used the part from it and was back in
business.
The problem is now I want to use my spare and it needs the aligner bushing
and washer. I talked to Vern and he told me that the bushing only comes
with new cylinders and he knows that some people have made
there own when faced with a stiuation like mine. The washer is a
non issue.
My question is does anyone out there in Lancair Land have any extra
bushings. If not does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement. Or
finally does anyone else need the same part so I can make the trip to the
machine shop worth it.
