Other than the friction problem, everything sort of fits right up?

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.
