Guys,

  

    Dave made up some anchor brackets out of 6061 aluminum  billet.  He copied the exact angle of Vans W-415 weldment (you know the  part with the "tack welded" nut).  Well, I installed the new aluminum  bracket onto the elevator yesterday and it wouldn't fit real nice.  Let me  explain....The new bracket was drilled exactly where Vans says to put his  w-415.  After installing the trim tab cable to the trim tab and routing the  cable thru the forward elevator spar, the trim tab access cover would not nest  in its recess in the elevator without undue force.  The angle of the  bracket (25 degrees) made the cable bind when going thru the forward spar of the  elevator.  

  

    I doubled checked this with Vans W-415 part.   Same thing.  Did anyone else have this problem?  Anyway, Dave came  out, measured the proper nut angle (15 degrees), and made a new  bracket.  After installing the new bracket I am happy to say there is no  more binding, thru the full range of motion of the cable, while it is attached  to the trim tab.  This thing fits perfect.

  

   Btw, I called Vans and talked to Gus about this.  Gus's  answer was to re-weld the nut at the proper angle.  I told him I would have  someone make up a aluminum bracket from billet.  He said that would be  best.

  

   Anyway, I caught this in time and Dave will send out all the  brackets to those who already ordered from Dave,  with this new 15 degree  nut angle.  He just has to make up new ones.

Contact Dave at 302-437-6087.  He made up a bunch of Trim Tab Cable Anchor Brackets with the new 15 degree angle.  Again, this bracket is CNC milled from 6061 billet.  Dave said it is 3 times stronger than Vans' part.

Scott,



  G'Day mate!  Dave is working on PayPal.  Hopefully, he'll have it up on his web site soon.  www.rivethead-aero.com



  I enclosed a picture of the bracket riveted onto the trim tab cover plate.

Bill, Yes.  The new bracket is wider than Van's W-412 and the hole pattern is wider.
