Dave,

Are you a member of the Europa Club? The Club has a mod for exactly this - I
based my mod for installation of a TruTrack AP on it.

Regards,
Jeremy

Folks,

I want to install a Navaid-type wing leveller (Trio EZ Pilot) into my
completed, but not yet installed, cockpit module.

Has anyone got a design for attaching a drive arm to an aileron torque
tube, which is already bonded into the cockpit module? 

Cutting a CS03 bush in half (so that it forms a saddle), riveting a
drive arm to it and then riveting the assembly to the torque tube, has
been suggested and appears sensible.  However, it would challenge my
limited skills to drill the torque tube and get a pop riveter accurately
to the location.

Is there a clamping arrangement, preferably 'PFA-approved',  that I
could put on to the torque tube.??

For example, could I 'simply' use half a CS03 bush and a couple of hose
clamps.  (That's what RV folk have used for attachment to aileron push
rods, but that may not be wise for a rotational force..??)

With thanks,
