Spray a bit of Corrosion X or ACF-50 on a small rag and wipe it on the shafts. Wow! Squeak gone, and the shafts move freely. Everyone should do this at every annual or as needed.

The teflon bushing must be a retrofit since teflon wasn't around in 1946. Is it available through Skyport or Univair?DarickN94139

Subject: [COUPERS-TECH] Yoke tubes.
----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]----How many of you have found that the tubes on the yokes are losing their chrome plating and make a disgusting squeaky noise when they go in and out through the dash?Well the squeaky noise is because of a Teflon bushing on the back of the panel but the peeling chrome is unsightly.I was thinking of replacing the yoke tubes with lengths of 316 SS stainless steel tubes that I can get locally in about 20" lengths.Diameter, weight and wall thickness would be the same and strength would be higher than steel, and it would not look bad either.I do not expect any problems with approvals.I may get a tube and have some pieces left over.Anybody want to share the cost of the tube?Alan FaircloughN87333============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm============================================================================== To leave this forum go to: http://ercoupers.com/lists.htm
