tailwheel tiller

[jgerard]

I am in need of a new tail wheel steering tiller for my 46' bc12d. This is the part that bolts into the bottom of the rudder and the tail wheel steering springs attach to. Does anyone have one for sale? Univar is out of stock.

I had the same problem about 2 months ago.

Univair didn't have the then either.

I ended up buying the one they had for the aeronca, took it to a machinist to turn the post down to the correct size (for $100), then ground and polished off about 3/8 inch from the bottom middle so it didn't touch the tailspring. Took about 3 hours of my labor to make a nice good looking fit.

Jason,
I think I have an extra one somewhere but I probably won't be home to check until sometime tomorrow or friday(if the weather will let me through).
