Hello Coupers I ordered a set of so called "0riginal" control wheels from Univair for my 1946 Ercoupe. Does anyone have drawings showing how they are supposed to be mounted? The ones in the Coupe now are red and definitely not "original" they had been mounted with the wheel extending below the center of the control shaft (upside down, I think). I have since turned them right side up and they no longer hit our knees. The present yokes have a tube protruding from one side that slides over the control shaft, with two bolts going through the yoke tube and the control shaft which are held by two self locking nuts.
The yokes from Univair are black with a 2 1/2 inch metal plate on the front and on the back of the yoke, held together with six screws and nuts, the plates clamp over the three wheel spokes. There is no tube extending from either side of the Univair yokes, the metal plates have a 7/8 inch diameter hole through them. I can't for the life of me figure how the new yokes attach to the control shaft. Can anyone help me? Jack Ercoupe N103JF, SN:745
