By: Mike HarrisonMany years ago, I had noticed play developing in the two separate elevators on higher time Challengers. The play was coming from the elevator bellcrank center bolt. By tightening the bolt, the play would go away but I wanted to come up with a method that would prevent the play from developing in the first place. The answer was to install a carry-through tube between the two elevators which makes them one solid piece. In order to give the carry-through tube clearance from the rudder, I notched the rudder with tubing and gusset plates.
