Greetings,

I am in the process of laying out my cockpit and have run into trouble
with the placement of the fuel selector.  I purchased the Andair EFS
20x2 selector from Lancair (beautiful workmanship).  This has the
selector handle that mounts in the center console and then a torque
tube (approx. 6" long) running down to the valve itself which is
mounted to the floor.

I want to place this selector in the center console near the instrument
panel.  However, the elevator pushrod runs the full length of the
console, right down the center.  This is where the torque tube wants
to be!

Have any of you run into this problem?  What did you do to solve it?

Two small U-joints would probably solve this, but where to buy such
a thing?


Regards,
