Hex Flap Rod Replacement

Well Known Member
Hi all,

What's the Van's part number for the RV-9 flap pushrod? I want to put a set on my -7. The Avery replacement is no longer available, because there is no longer an Avery Tools. :(

Are the hex pushrods from van's pre-drilled or just hex bar stock?

Cheers,
-John
 
VA-256. It is threaded on both ends. If you want to see the installation you find it in the drawings on DWG-33, A6.

When you cut make sure you do it from both ends. If you need to cut 1" cut 1/2" from both ends.
 
Does anyone know where to buy the beefed up hex flap actuator rods? I am looking to replace the stock actuator rods on my RV-8. I know they were originally available from Avery tools then Cleveland tool sold them but I cannot find them on their site for purchase now.
