Spring Connector Clips

[Dwain]

Just had my Scott 3200 tailwheel overhauled during my annual. I was looking at the spring connector clips and they seem to be a little worn where they pass through the steering horns. I have only heard them called "spring connector clips", but can't find any. The only ones I see online are part of a kit that has the springs, chains and connectors. First, is this the correct name for them? Secondly, anyone know of a supplier? and finally, what about replacing them with a "better" style of connector, say a quick link chain connector. It looks like some of the tailwheels I see have the quick links on them already. Thanks for the help - Dwain

I use these AN42 eyebolts on the steering arms.

You can get these links from Alaskan Bushwheel.

Yep, I've been digging. Steve, mounted up I am assuming? Drilled or undrilled, tight or able to rotate???

Mine had them but one was broken off in the high temp nuts they used to attach them!

Whoops, I was asking about the AN42B eye bolts.

Steve,

Would you be able to post a picture of your assembly with that eye bolt?

[Jim Hann]

Heftiger,

They go on the arms of the Scott tiller and you hook the springs to them. I don't have a picture of mine assembled, I took it apart to clean it and one of the eyebolts broke off at the cotter pin hole. If someone else (Steve?) doesn't post a picture, I'll post one when I get it back together.

PS, hold on to your wallet when you go to buy 'em, AN42B-7 go for about $6.50 a PIECE.

Help. I'm not seeing the part number for the eyebolt.

AN42B-7 drilled or undrilled, doesn't turn much if any. https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catal...boltsan42b.php

We have the drilled eye bolt since it technically spins. We leave it fairly loose so it can spin.
