Dave,
thanks for the flowers.....I thought about my solution as rather
"russisch"......but it will last for ever.(hopefully) and I think it is an
easier fix than drilling and reaming, if you're not a swiss "Uhrmacher"
equiped with "german" precision tools.....
Graham,
I slided the TP12 about 2 cm outboard on the TP 4 tube and put the Loctite
around those exposed 2 cm of the TP 4. So I have a bonded surface of 240
mm2.
At a shear strength of 26 N/mm2 for the Loctite 603, this gives me a shear
strength of 6.240 N over a tempreature range of -55C up to 150C. I belive
this should be enough for my use.....and than there's still the pin.......
I don't know about the PFA, but the austrian authorities (ACG) will be
happy with the fix.
Klaus
