John has also fitted formed pads under the bolt heads pinning TP-9 to the cross tube; not sure if that is a standard feature in the manual but it would spread the load evenly across the clamping region.

I say project because, while it seem like a straight forward job, the location of the servo on the tunnel behind the instrument panel makes it a real joy. I really cant complain too much as the cable was in service for 20 years.

Manno! What a different aircraft it is now. Takes off and climbs with all 90hp now like crazy, and is able to do 145nkots at max continuous (7gal/hr) down low. Previous relaxing cruise settings give about a 5kn increase for the same fuel flow too. And the new gearbox internals appreciate the effortless instant start and stop without the previous typical rotax dog-clank. Much smoother as well. Terrific performance and ~1lb lighter than the warpdrive and classic spinner. Minor nits: controller display goes blank intermittently, and the blades have more play in the hub than id like (Erich reports no play on his, factory says its normal). Factory is quite supportive tho. Best transformative investment to-date.
