Serge. I used 3/4 inch torque tube, but on the ends I use a 2 inch length of T6 , 1 inch hollow section ( square) this was a slide fit over the tube, I welded ( but you could rivet) and arm to one end of the square section , I attached the square section to the tube with two AN bolts at 90 deg to each other.
I'll send you a photo of the linkage next, Serge Phil Matheson VH-PKR mathes...@dodo.com.au 0358833588 Australia Web Page http://www.philskr2.50megs.com/ See VW Engines http://www.vw-engines.com/ www.homebuilt-aviation.com/
