Aileron bracket spacer 0422232

Post by atypicalguy »

This little spacer went missing; I thought it was part of the bracket so I foolishly didn't secure it, so now it has gone missing.

Univair has one for $90. I am hoping someone has an extra sitting around. Alternatively I can just mic it up and cut one off from some bushing stock I guess.

It is for the inner aileron hinge. It goes inside the aileron hinge bracket, just below where the actuator rod end attaches. The long hinge bolt passes through the spacer and through the other side of the bracket and then out through the wing attach point again.

Thanks for any thoughts.

Mine has a home made one on one side, too... Lost by a previous owner. The hinge was rubbing on the rib.
