 |
|
I have a question about the torque tube installation on Sec 23-7. When installing the torque tube the plans call for shimming any misalignment forward/aft using AN960-416/L washers. After the tube is slipped in place (scratching off a sizeable portion of my nicely primed and painted WD-1014C’s) and bolted together there was a fair amount of forward/aft play between the bearings. An AN960-416 on each side of torque tube between the bearings took the play out but as a result there is not enough threads poking through the AN365-428 lock nuts to be acceptable. If I take the washers out its might be possible to get 1 threads worth on each forward and aft nut but that might introduce some pre load on the structure (read squeeze things together)
Has anyone else encountered this? Should I just use a shorter lockunut?

Vans know about this and were going to change the plans and parts to a thinner lock nut.

Aircraft Spruce 364-428 nuts are the low profile nuts that will give you your thread engagement. Their part number is 04-01499.
