Default I will
I recently updated my server and some of the links are broken. I will repost these photos by this weekend.

I am helping a friend with his PCU5000 install this weekend and will see if the braket I designed works with his installation (which is basically the same as mine). Mine has been trouble free for 4 years.

Default Checking in on the thread...
Hi Paul,

I'm probably one of the last PCU-5000 group buy people to install his governor. I just downloaded your plans, thanks very much for tackling this. Any chance you could re-post the pictures of your installation? They're not showing up in VAF any more.

How has the bracket held up in service over the last few years?

Dave

Default Updated the link to the PCU bracket
Dave,

I just re-linked the photos. I have almost 350 hours on my RV-7A and haven't had any issues with the bracket.
