Hello Everyone, Finishing the annual on my Forney, and IA said pilot side control wheel universal needed replacing. Was going to swap with passenger side (no wear) but he wouldn't go for it. So, I ordered a new one from Univair ($179!!!). They said because of extra steering load that their part must be used. OK. The universal is installed with tapered AN pins (hard to find, but I found a supply at Spencer Aircraft, Seattle). HERE'S THE PROBLEM: The universal came with wrong size holes (too small) and no taper. It seems critical to match the tapered holes on the universal with the tapered holes in the wheel shaft and control column to get a tight press fit with no slop. Has anyone installed a universal having to drill out the tapered holes to fit? How do you do that? Hand reemer or.....? HELP! Thanks all!
