Help me with a puzzler. A while back I bought a set of new yokes (complete with inserts!) that had supposedly been on another 415.
In trying to mount them, I find that my 415 must be a bit differently.configured. The new yokes have front and rear holes which are the same size, the size of the main portion of the control column. There is a single retaining pin. My old yokes seem to have the front hole like the new ones, but the old ones have a larger hole in the rear and a bushing which increases the size of the control column for about an inch and a half behind the yoke, and also seems to serve as a stop to keep the yoke from ramming the panel. There's a second retaining pin that seems to go through the rear yoke hub and the bushing. The parts and service manuals don't seem to illustrate this 'feature' at all. Are there different styles? Should I be trying to salvage the rear hub and mate it up with the new bits? Or have I gotten ahold of a generic yoke mated to Ercoupe inserts? As it is, it looks like we'll have to pull the control shaft and exercise all sorts of machinations to break apart the results of 50 years of being in place, and corroding together...
