rbridges Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 The previous owner to my plane had them, so I bought them from him. I know they're for preload, but how are they used? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964-M20E Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Rob You will need a dial indicating torque wrench with a memory needle I find is the best. They run $150 to $200 look in the service manual to get the torque range you need. A torsion bar torque wrench will work but you have to look at several things at one time to get r done. The click style wrenchs I have not figured out how to make them work for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloridaMan Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 @Sabremech are there dimensioned mechanical drawings for these anywhere? I could possibly do a production run of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could possibly do a production run of these. I can see if I can get you a copy of my drawings. Not sure they will be 3D as I believe the parts were water or laser jet cut then welded. I’ll get back with you next week if ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
