REFLECTOR: AN111 rudder cable bushing

[nmflyer1 at aol.com]

I like that approach Al.
As I recall, I decided not to do that because my old plans called for a larger bolt in the bell crank. The hole was already there and the AN111 had a smaller hole than my bell crank. So my Oilite bushing sits inside the bell crank hole and allows the An111 to pivot on the AN3 Bolt. I have a thin washer underneath and on top so that I can get the bolt so that it does not wobble at all, but all can still rotate. If it ever gets loose, I can just replace the bushing in the rudder horn. 

Sound ok?

I take it from your suggestion that the cable does not slide on the bushing?
Fastening the bushing tightly to the rudder horn so that it does not 
rotate is an incorrect attachment?

Brian;

I'm sure you've got this figured out by now, but here's a photo of my
approach. I tapped threads in the rudder horn, and then put a locknut on the
bottom so to screw could be loose to allow rotation.
