    Anyone know the specifics about the eccentric flap bushings? In Annual now and IA isn’t sure about them: one set stays in position and the bushing rides the track. On the other side the bushings are turning like a normal bushing would. Since these are eccentric I assumed this was the bad one.
    Does anyone know about this, and where to get some replacement bushings?
    Thanks for any help.

    Chris-I have not had any issues with the bushings. My IA found a bolt installed backwards that was casing the flap to bind when it extended but it was easily rectified. Do the bushings look like off the shelf? Perhaps Dave Smith or Nelson Harding can respond.

    Thanks for the help Ed! My IA says that 2 of the 8 bushings were eccentric, and installed on the same flap … didn’t make sense to him. All the others are normal roller type bushings, so he’s in a quandry. So am I, I guess I will have to try and find one of the experts in the field to shed some light for us…
