Rudder pedal torque tubes breaking

[kitfoxjim]

I steel wrapped and welded the post to the sleeve so no problem there. The problem I had was that the rivets started to sheer on the torque tube. The assembly is made this way in case it needs to be taken apart in the future.
Perhaps it should have been welded to the inner torque tube?

I don't have any rivets. Have any photos?

The rivets I am talking about are #110 in this assembly drawing.

Okay, mine are totally different. I have two tubes that set one in front of the other slightly offset. One is both right pedals and the other is both left. Odd, but it works.

Here are my templates. Opinions anyone?

Hi berryboat
Can you post a link to the thread? I can’t figure out how they will come out either.
Thanks

Jay, Look back at your post #14, you mention a seven year old post.

It is the way I did mine except on the cable attach point I used a triangle.

Not sure if I'm off topic because it seems this was covered not long ago, but I'll post my mods again. They're welded steel wraps, all joints.
