Cable Wear Pad

Post by mbruffy »

I was looking around behind the battery box recently and noticed a wear pad riveted on the bulkhead behind the battery that the elevator cables run over. The part of the pad that the right cable goes over is worn down almost to metal. Is there a part number for the pad? (I skimmed through the parts catalog but didn’t find anything). Is this a normal occurrence or a symptom of a bigger problem (cable/pulley rigging)? Thanks

I tried to add a photo but it kept giving an error. I’ll try again if needed.

I think it's 0412469 Rubbing Strip - Bulkhead - Sta. 95.000. It's listed under the listing for the bulkhead, 23-44. It's a strip of phenolic material. I'm sure a modern substitute would be acceptable.

Hints on posting photos.
