You guys have forced me to look more carefully, and the parts book backs up what you say.

Charlie, as the owner of many carriers, can you confirm that they have 2 bends, how far from each end, and what the angles are? (we are talking about CTL 7111)
On another note, when I was at Colins he had a clutch arm (TL 2731 ) it took the standard pin to locate it, but was also clamped tight with a pinch bolt. I hadn't seen one like that before. Are they common?

standard pins and cotters on mine ( I think ).......

If all goes according to plan , I'll be pushing and pulling things about this afternoon and will look then. Maybe even make a photographic rendering.

I'd do a charcoal sketch but it's hard to mail a cave wall.

Default One cavwe wall...

Lets see how this goes: (from a carrier hull on its way to a new home...)


The tape was hooked over the end of the clevis as shown in pic 3...

from the bulkhead end , the first bend is at about 18"

the matching bend is at the rear clevis

total offset is about 2" and

of course the axis pins are parallel...
