| Subject: | Re: front harnesses |
Chris,
unfortunately it is very difficult to explain it but it has been done on my
18T.
Even Termikas says that it is impossible but it is not....
The front adjusting shoulder straps can "easily" be changed. My saddler says
that and he has changed both seats with new straps.
His comment was just : Simple but efficient as russian know how.
What I do remember is that there is a spring in the upper part and the belt
are strongly tight to the rod by a small metalic part that can be slipped.
Then you can replace the belt.
I don't think I have any pics of the mechanism. The only thing I can say is
that it is possible not only to overhaul this mechanism but to change the
straps.
Sorry for so few informations.
Kind regards
Didier

You will most likely need to overhaul the gear actuator.

Subject: Yak-List: Yak 18T Gear Problem
The right main gear on my Yak 18T won't retract. Actually, I've gotten
it to retract a couple of times, but I can't count on it.
Help.

Hi,
There might be few things as problem with actuating cylinder. simple solutions
is to replace seals. I got them in stock original Russian complete set.
Very often happens that there is corrosion on internal parts or even corroded or
damaged inside plating of cylinder wall.
First open it and see whats inside. It is not very difficult to change seals but
maybe you would need special tool to open it.
BR,
Alfonz

Two separate issues:
18T harnesses (front and rear) with Hookers
It is not easy, but possible, to dismantle the inertia mechanism, and
replace the Russian strap with the Hooker strap.
A simpler solution is to leave part of the Russian strap that is attached to
the inertia reel, and then to join on (but only with someone experienced in
these things) a shortened Hooker strap. In this way, when extended, you
will obviously see the original Russian strap, but in normal use, and when
retracted you only see the Hooker. (I would also say that we tend to cover
the seats in leather, and so this also covers the inertia mechanism).
Yak-52
I see that people are talking about old 52 buckles. I am not sure which
ones are being spoken of, but the first type, which was held shut with a
lever, caused a number of fatalities when accidently released, and there is
a Specific Service Bulletin prohibiting its use.
