Hi Guys, I have found the wing strut rod end with out problems but now

find that the threaded bolt that comes out of the wing strut end and

screws into to the rod end appears to be welded in place. Can anyone

confirm that this is a fixture and if it is how it can be replaced? This

bolt has broken off about 3/16th from the end of the strut and all

attempts to remove it the strut so far have failed.

Thanks guys 

 

Regards

Graeme

Graeme,



That's an AN part that's rosette welded into the end 

of the lift strut.  That a really critical part and I 

don't know the AN part number.  Someone (named 

John...)  :

) with access to the Skystar liftstrut 

fabrication drawings might be able to help.



Regards,



Ted

Thanks Ted and Shorty. If I decide to replace the bolt rather than use a

threaded tube, is there a particular strength that I need to replace it

with and do I simply cut the end off the lift strut and weld the new

bolt on?. Does anyone have a preference for the way of doing this task?

I can see how critical it is and how precise the fitting will need to

be. The load on the bolt is obviously significant so has anyone done the

calculations for the model 1V to see how much load is on each bolt? As

always, thanks guys



Regards

Graeme
