REFLECTOR: Reinforced RG Cable Attachment

[Randy Wharton]

While looking at Richard Gwinn's construction photos on the factory
website, he mentioned that the A&P at the factory had noticed that
some planes were coming in with a slightly bent bolt where the main
hydraulic cylinder connects to the gear leg cables. He modified the
through-bolt idea to incorporate two steel plates. This seemed like
an excellent idea to go with, so a machinist friend made me two 1/8"
thick stainless steel plates. Since the center joint is larger than
the smaller joints on the ends, I had him make the plates with bosses
for the smaller joints so that no spacers were required inside the
plates. The plates came out beautifully, and I put a photo of the
installation, along with a close up of the plate, on my website. A
direct link to the page is

The machinist said if anyone else wanted a set these plates, he'd be
willing to crank them out on the CNC for $30 a pair. So if you're
interested, just drop me a line.
