Gidday again,
My front flight control tufnol block for my flight controls, the one in the
footwell, has an offset centreline of the hole such that about 1/3 of the
way through it wanders. The result is that the metal component slides home
and has a rattling loose fit with about .3-.5mm gap between it and the
tufnol, and that it is obviously not correctly bearing throughout the depth
of the bearing. I worry this tufnol may wear, albeit slowly, such that even
if I take up some of the slack with paint, that in the future it will only
get worse. Does/did anyone else have the same problem?? I am also
interested in the past dialogue about inserting grease nipples for future
lubrication. Is this recommended, or is there a danger of weakening the
tufnol material and possibly splitting it insitu, with the pressure of a
thread in it applying a constant pressure ( I suppose a grease nipple could
be reduxed into it removing any pressures)
In anticipation of ideas
