Hi! David.
Looks like you have the right perception of the use for the 1mm thick
tufnol, except you may need it to be slightly thicker to take up
operational slack in the connection. If that's the case then you will
need two layers of the tufnol and then sand it back to the right
thickness. Similarly you may need to cut back even the single thickness
to achieve close coupling without stress or backlash. Use the green
redux mixed thinly with flox to bond it to the connectors but be sure to
make it flat with a straight edge when bonding. (always presuming that
you have enough!)

Subject: Europa-List: Pads for CS15
<dsimenauer@cox.net>
The diagram in my manual shows a phenolic pad on the face of the CS15
quick connect bellcrank for the ailerons. However nowhere can I find in
my manual any instructions for attaching this pad or even a part number.
I have found a piece of Tufnol, part number euro8 that is 83mm x 75mm x
1mm thick. This seems like the pad. Is this indeed the pad and should
I attach it to the CS15 with a bit of Araldite.
Thanks,
