Yokes & Control Rod Help Can anyone tell me how to take the yoke off the shaft?
Ever since picking up 'Scarlett' I wanted to put a set of pretzel yokes in her like I had in my original BC-12D.
John at Skyport Services is assisting me in doing so and asked that I pull the current yokes and rods out to see how everything was attached and what kind of mounting holes were present. My late, late model yokes were bolted on and i know the pretzel yokes utilize a tapered drive pin.
I think my current control rods have been sawn off already as the yokes were resting up against the instrument panel. One is 17 13/16" long and the other 17 5/8" long. (One also has some rusting so I would like to replace them).
-Does anyone have a stock one around to measure or know the stock length?
-These are 3/4" diameter rods, does anyone have a recommended source for this material? This appears chromed, does it come that way or do you have it chromed? (I believe Rob Lees utilized polished stainless??)
