Guys,
I had a little issue with the way the rudder cables were attached at the bell crank behind the panel. Basically, the cable needed to be sandwiched between two parts (like a hinge.) The way it's designed puts a twisting load on the pin or bolt. Not a good thing, IMHO.
My solution is to make tabs from 4130 .062" steel and rivet them in place. Voila! the cable no longer puts an asymmetrical load on the pin. Smart them Chinese, huh?
