[COUPERS-TECH] Old control wheels

[Don Abbott]

----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- I am taking my G model back to original.  That includes the panel and overlay.  Here is a dilemma.  When I bought the plane it had rams horn control wheels installed.  I want to install the old (pretzel) wheels.  Since the rams horn install requires cutting the sleeve and shaft, I went to the cookie jar and purchased a new set of shafts and sleeves for the old style wheels.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to mount the wheels to the shaft.  First the shaft seems to big for the wheels.   Secondly, there does not appear to be any way to fasten the wheel to the shaft.  The service manual does not have any helpful info. I thought about freezing the shaft and heating the wheel, but that does not seem right.  Maybe a sledge hammer?  I would appreciate help you can give me on this one.   Thanks Don Abbott N94411 ============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm Search the archives on http://escribe.com/aviation/coupers-tech/
