Subject: Larry McFarland's steering rod baffles Description: The discussion started off talking about carbon monoxide leaking into the cockpit. Along the way it veered off into ways to seal the firewall where the two links to steer the nose wheel pass through. Larry McFarland passed on these photos with the following description. Larry's is one example of three different solutions I'll be posting:
The assembly is a 3-piece sandwich with the center .032 material cut out to allow the slider .025 material to slip up and down about 2-3/4-inches as well as right and left a quarter of an inch. The grommet only seals the rod to the hole in the slider and slips on the rod without binding or wear. The 3-sheet periphery of the assembly is riveted with A4s heads flush to the side that is toward the firewall. A bolt at top and one thru the bent flange at the bottom are all that holds it at the slot in the firewall.
I've had no problems with this in near 80-hours. See the bolts that secure and the rod going thru the grommet. You can make these on the bench and then drill and bolt them in place after a little goop is added to the contact edges.
