Title: Section 40 - Flaps
Started Sec. 40 today. Had to match and final drill holes in the Flap Crank, Flap Horns and Torque Tubes. There is a Bellcrank Jig with a part number of W-730. For the life of me, I couldn't find it. So, I fabricated one. Using this jig sets the angle of the Flap Horns, relative to the Flap Crank. With a vice grip, clamp the Crank to the table and with the jig installed, measure the length of the tube and set the angle. Then drill holes for the Horns and Torque Tubes and Prime the Tubes. Next was trimming the UHMW Bushings. The required cut is to provide space for the torque tube cover in the floor area of the rear seats. The other trimming is optional. I printed 4 templates and used double sided tape to stick them to each block. It made the cuts very simple. I then bolted the 4 blocks together and sanded them to the same size. Pg 40-4 Step 5 has you slide a bushing down the torque tube over the powder coated area. I used some Scotchbrite to reduce the outside diameter of the powder coat, lubed with Boelube and slid a PVC pipe over the tube and hammered it down the tube. Okay so far but I can see this is going to be an issue getting both bushings into the correct position. Especially the ones on the outboard sides.
