Mar 05, 2022     Machine work - (2 hours)       Category: Landing Gear
Had the landing gear link machined down to 10 mm thick to match original. Had the end holes bored out to fit bearings. Heated the ends of the link and fit the bearings into the holes before the ends cooled. Used a punch to dimple the link, preventing the bearings from coming out.
Had a new link pin machined. It didn't turn out as good as it should so it's going to be redone. No pics.
Also had the bent landing gear torque tube straightened so that it can be reused. It now slides in and out through the splined section. The cut off end will have to be rewelded.
