Still trying to find out if anyone has removed the old bowtie yokes from
their shafts and replaced them with ram's horns. Lots of folks changed
out the yoke/shafts as units, but nobody will fess up that they actually
swapped out the yokes themselves.

Since Piper lists the yoke/shaft as one part number, there probably is
no approved method of separating them.

Looks like I will return the ram's horns with bent shafts I bought from
the boneyard. If you cannot demate/remate them from/with the shafts,
they are useless.

Thanks,
Mike


I have a '64 vintage pa28-140. I replaced the bowties with cast metal
ram's horn yokes with PTT that I bought from Aircraft spruce. I believe
they called them Navion yokes. We installed them an annual time and
got local FSDO sign off.
