Re: Installing BAS Tail Pull Handles
I don’t use mine very often, but when they allowed my not quite 3-year old grandson to help put 98C away after his first light airplane ride they were worth every penny.

I also did this, and recommend this instead of riveting. I've had mine installed for 2 years now, absolutely loving it. One of the best mods for the money.rschreiber wrote:I also used the screw option for mounting the pull handle just in case I needed to get back into the tail in the future.

Re: Installing BAS Tail Pull Handles
The instructions say to use 3/16ths machine screws. Seems kinda short. I would think that is barely enough room to get the self locking nut on alone. Did it work?bgiesbrecht wrote: ↑Wed Aug 31, 2022 7:07 pmI also did this, and recommend this instead of riveting. I've had mine installed for 2 years now, absolutely loving it.

Re: Installing BAS Tail Pull Handles
I think they’re suggesting using a 3/16” diameter screw rather than 3/16” length. Not sure where you found that instruction though. My B.A.S. Installation instructions (Rev D April 14, 2004) say to use “either AN470 AD4 rivets or … #6-32 X 3/8” stainless machine screws and AN365-632 nuts.”

Re: Installing BAS Tail Pull Handles
You are right about the screw designation. Mine are installed now with screws and I love the pull handles!
