Having mislocated the rudder cables too high in my
Legacy, I desired to raise the aft console covering the cables rather
than relocate them.Recognising there might be some structural considerations,
I called the factory and was wired to Mark. Following our
discussion and in conformity with it I floxed two 1" boards to the floor
and screwed the console to the boards Now I understand there is another opinion
being voiced at the factory, to the effect the console needs to be bonded down.
Would the floxed in place wood provide whatever is
needed, or would placing the called for bid layers over the wood core that is
now floxed to the floor provide whatever is needed, so the console could remain
screwed down for easy removal and access to the area under it as
needed?
It would seem to this amateur that the fiberglass
console would provide less strength and rigidity than would either the floxed
down wood, or the floxed down wood covered with glass cloth (but what do I know)
Thanks in advance for any
guidance. Wendell
