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. -------- Oscar Zuniga Medford, OR Air Camper NX41CC "Scout" A75 power, 72x36 Culver prop Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=464887#464887 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message pietenpol-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Pietenpol-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/pietenpol-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/pietenpol-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
