'41 Deluxe Trim Indicator

[PA1195]

See page 50 for an example of the trim: http://www.univair.com/content/partc...nteractive.pdf

My 41 has no trim indicator. About six turns of the crank full up to down. I set it half way for neutral and mark the pulley with directional arrows.

Today I had need to pull back the headliner in my '41 Deluxe. I thought I would take the opportunity to repair the "up-down" indicator which hasn't worked since I bought the plane back in 2014. Before getting into this, I reviewed Rob Lees' and Buell Powell's posts that described how they refurbished their indicators. I was excited about getting mine repaired.

I compared my indicator to that of Rob and Buell's, but there's little comparison. The apparatus that drives the left and right movement is not the same. While Rob and Buell's indicator employs rigid structural components that are fixed to the cross member above the windscreen, mine uses a heavy wire attached to the stringer over the passenger's head that is eventually connected to the screw above the pulley.

Here are a few photos of what I have









Now, see below. I found this photo on the forum. It is somewhat similar to what I have, but not the same.










Does anyone know if the three images on the top are the original set up?

Thanks.
