Charlie, HELP!!

 

How did you set the height of the Stabilizer Bar Above the Rotor Head????  Real Huey has 2 Stabilizer Bar Supports that bolts to trunnion and one bearing/bolt that secured to middle of Stabilizer Bar Assy.  Kit has 2 parts A59?? that kinda looks like these supports but instructions do NOT use these parts!!! I promise that the Stab Bar is held up by more that just the PC links and Tubes!!

I think there is an omission of these essential parts in the instructions!!

Thanks. I’m using P/N A59 trimmed shorter a bit that will set Stab Bar that looks ok to my Mk I’s. Means that I will have to lengthen link between dampeners and Stab Bar. Other tubes???

Kit is also missing Blade Grip reservoir, which I added. Stab Bar is slightly higher than those reservoirs. Having Maintenance Manual with illustrations helps.
