I can't find 3/16" size anywhere. I have the one pictured here but it's for 5/32" wire. I might be able to drill it out but I still need a couple more. I don't know who carries this one either. Any help would be great.

Found a single arm one at Tower, but it's discontinued. A quick search on google revealed one at ebay. Search for Fults RF187.

I had the same problem when I was setting up rudders on some float planes. I had two double tiller arms in my parts bins but couldn't find any more locally or in a US based online store. One had to be drilled out to 3/16 and it came out fine. Just go slow and drill it in steps.
I ended up making the others using wheel collars and double servo arms. It took some time but they are still holding up after 3 years.
I've seen 90 degree 3/16" bell crank type arms but no 180 degree arms in the states.
If you wanted to order 5mm ones from overseas I found this:

Piper chuck-Thanks for the suggestion!

flyinwalinda-I appreciate the link, I didn't think about doing a search for tiller arms. I ended up using nose gear drilled out carefully..like you suggested.

Sure thing!
I've always called them tiller arms. Used to be able to get these at the LSH and Tower years ago. Now I look for them at the flea markets/shows.
