Looking for mechanic near KCNO to install new yokes

[tim417]

Hey everyone, my mechanic is swamped at the moment, so I am finding myself needing to look for options. 

I have 201 style yokes and shafts I’d like installed in my 63 C model. Of course this means PTT wiring for the new yokes and also my old yokes had USB charging ports mounted to them at 6 o’clock so I will need them either relocated to the panel or mounted up to the new yokes. 

Can anyone recommend someone that can do this without me having to remortgage my home? Just trying to expand my options here.

Do you have all of the parts at the far end that need to be swapped out?

• yokes
• shafts
• hardware

Make sure you have everything before your appointment arrives…

Best regards,

I would ask Steve at Aerospecialties is he could do it. Other mechanics in the area won't do wiring, so an Avionics shop may be your best best. Also ask @skates97 for his advice.

Kevin Schiff at KWHP can do it all, but is very busy.  Call and see what his openings are like.

Haha! Great minds…. Steve is great and is who I prefer to work on my plane. I guess I will just wait til he can fit me in. He is super busy and I feel like I am keeping him from bigger jobs. Solid dude.

Richard at CAVU Aero Services in Riverside is usually pretty good at fitting small jobs in.

Stay far away from Affordable Avionics at Chino (if they're still in business!)

Thanks for the recommendation of CAVU Aero. If Steve can’t fit me in I will give them a call. 

I second the admonition to stay away from AA. I went in there six months ago and I got the used car salesman vibe from them. Then I started to hear warnings just like yours from people all over the airport.
