The diagram was publishedin the BPA newsletter in the early 80's. I don't know if I still haveit, but I will dig around.In brief. it was fabricated from 1/8 X 1.5 or 2 inch Al stock. A slotwas cut in the middle of the piece. A swivel bolt was placed thru thetorque tube just in front of the seat. A 1/4 bolt thru the stick ridesin the slot. A friction wing nut is placed on the bolt. As the stick ismoved fore & aft, the bolt rides in the slot. The length of the slot isdetermined by the degree of up & down elevator travel.Mike B Piet N687MB ( Mr Sam )PS: Grant may be of some assistance in locating the newsletter.Del wrote: mikeIwould be interested in hearingabout thatin moredetail. or better to see a picture ordiagram.delThe elevator stop was designed by Ed Sampson.Thediagram was published in the BPA newsletter in the early 80's.
