tail rotor assembly side plates on a 500
 

<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I can't find my original post asking if anyone has tried to cross bolt the tail rotor assembly side plates on a 500 (EXI). (in more depth bearing plates)</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">And the answer is yes you can, and it will clear the belt.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">I drilled out the assembly so the 2.5 mm socket head screw will trap the two side plates and used lock nuts and washers.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">So far so good.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">RCREDHOTS</p>
