Friend I use to work with use to say that a lot when we found something wore slap ass out. Thought this trim pulley handle bracket that I cut out today fit that definition.

That is what Piper ued on the late 70s airplanes. Guess they ran out of the model A Ford stock.
I cut the tabs off. Will have to cut a hole to get the new pin in. Will use the Oratex for the patch. Works great patching the wing root fairing stub I cut off installing Performance STOL flaps. That tube sit well aboard of the fabric, stringer is right there. The primer is pretty good for 1979 unrestored airplane living in New Mexico. Mainly dirt and over spray.Steve, did you have to cut the fabric to get the pin out? How did you weld so close to the fabric? Looks like the primer is wearing thin on the tubing. Nice fix.

Since we're talking trim system, and I'm just installing mine, and want to confirm that I have it right. Which way does the stab move when trimming nose down? or nose up? Just want to make sure I have the cables run correctly. Thanks

If you're really creative you can center it back up and then push a bushing into the wallowed out tab for a temp fix.More better.

Super Cub or PA12? Doesn't look like the parts in a Super Cub, more like a J3.
Do you have a link or pic of the newer handle? I’m just finding what looks like the old window handle marked up 1000%.The new Univair trim handles are really nice. The hole is no longer square but round and fits very tightly on the shaft. Very nice billet aluminum construction too. I'm not saying your old trim handle won't work but if you have the money the Univair one is a nice upgrade if you don't like the feel of the old one.
