Jan 05, 2020 1.5 New Torque tube and Universal Joint Category: Landing Gear
Compared new retract torque tube and splined section with original, undamaged torque tube. The new torque tube is the splined section and universal joint from a steering column. It will replace the torque tube that was bent in the accident. Test fit new tube and universal joint to confirm it will work.

Good news, it will. It will require a bit of machining to get the ends to match up and such but it's all doable. Certainly less work than trying to machine a brand new torque tube and splined section as per the original one.
