For yet another version of the axle anti-rotation setup, go to Westcoastpiet.com , photos, and scroll down to John Dilatush's Air Camper pictures. Here's a good closeup: http://www.westcoastpiet.com/images/John%20Dilatush%20Subaru-Powered%20Pietenpol/images/DSC00049.JPG
As you'll see, John used a pair of short links with rod ends to form somewhat of
a "four-bar linkage" to keep the axle from rotating when the brakes are applied.
In other photos there, you'll see that he also used the aircraft cable loops
to catch the axle if a bungee should let go.
You will also find a photo of the motorcycle chain links that John used here and
there as cable shackles on his airplane. A pair of chain links and clevis pins
should price out quite a bit lower cost than an AN115 cable shackle ($10.85
each for 3/32-1/8" cables). Find a decent worn-out motorcycle chain, press
out the pins, and you can get the links for free.
