Subject: Pietenpol-List: Clevis pins vs. clevis boltsHi all,I am hooking up all my control cables and primarily using clevis pins with cotter pins for safety. Looking at those connections bothers me a little bit. All that is between me and disaster is one little teenie weeny cotter pin. It especially bothers me when the configuration is horizontal and not vertical, so I don't even have the piece of mind of having gravity help me hold that pin in there. Anybody done any different?

On NX18235 all hinge pins and cable assemblies at the tail and ailerons are secured with a clevis pin / washer / cotter pin. Cable terminations inside the cockpit are secured with a bolt / castle nut / cotter pin assembly.Greg Cardinal ----- Original Message -----
