Thanks for the reply. Other than the friction problem, everything sort of fits
right up?

Hi Jay,
to be open, there are a few bits you have to work out from your side: Seems I did
two new brackets to mount the iris to the engine, plus a new lever, see photo.
I believe my shutters came from a Sukhoi but dont know why there is a difference,
variations of M 14 gearbox castings ?
Then you will design an extra mechanism for actuating the iris. The high friction
prevented using the original push-pull cable in the 18 T, so I made up a
twin pull bowden system with two cables and torque rod from fire wall to the
iris, sorry, no photos at hand. Does anybody know how the system looks in a Sukhoi
? Maybe you will come up with something else, depending on conditions in
your aircraft. At least you got the warning to know where problems might be and
fabricate a good system from the start. I tried hydraulics first, but that was
not quick and easy and had snags in detail as well.
