Washers on torque tubes
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 5:46 pm
I set out to follow my manuals instructions and fit a washer at each end.
However during the rivetting process (I think) clearances altered a little
and I found the torque tube fitted best with only a washer at one end. I'm
comfortable with this although it may allow faster wear in places. I still
expect 818R to be flying long after I'm not. Cheers Mike
