what, you questioning about the end in the photo?? just run the wire around the end and single wrap it. It does not have to go through the hole with the pin to do it's job. Or am I missing the question??Gene________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Turnbuckle safety

I don't know whether you have room or it would be permissible,but maybe drill ahole in the tab to run the wires through on that end and twist off-it obviouslycan't turn the eye on that end.I would think if you cross wrap the two wiresfrom the middle hole to the tab and go through it and twist together it shouldwork?

Thanks, Gene...Thanks, Raymond. I went out on the back porch, had a glass of ice water andcommuned with nature for a few minutes, and came up with the exactresolution you describe. I can now use the double wrap method.For any who may not have followed, I probably purchased the wrong end. Afterthe pin went thru (which fits tightly), I had no place to run the safetywire thru. As Raymond suggested, I drilled a small hole, big enough for thesafety wire, on the exposed part of the tab.

Thanks, Mike! Unfortunately, I did not buy the clip type of barrel (not sureIf the Pietenpol Police would allow it). ;-)I'm too cheap to replace them, too. As a matter of fact, I seriouslyconsidered some of the old-time alternatives to turnbuckles! Those thingsare WAY TOO EXPENSIVE!Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.) _____

I thought I should include a picture showing my fix...sorry for thefuzziness, but the hole is the shiny part, just at the end of the turnbuckleend.I know, I know...if the Gestapo sees this I could lose my A&P cert. This fixwould not be a consideration if these were primary control cables.GaryThanks, Gene...Thanks, Raymond.

Yes. I know that renders it un-usable in the world of certified aircraft,but I am really not concerned in this use. As I said, I would never do thison primary controls. I would be willing to bet that there are flying Pietsout there without AN hardware.Do you, or anyone on this list, have experience that would dictate other?Gary BootheCool, Ca.PietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear(13 ribs down.) _____
