Scott, et. al., Thanks for the new website. To all who have led me to ebay ... I am presently bidding on a yoke control lock with a bid of $52.02 (yikes, is Bulldog worth that much to get this original part?). And, the reserve price has not yet been met. If I have to go over $55 I will keep my carefully bent welding rod. Again, thanks to all who have sent me in the web site directions. Hugh
Hi there, just an observation on that ebay item You may want to look at the bend in the lock where it fits into the column, it looks like an old 172 style with a vertical pin not a horizontal one like the 150 Regards
G'day again, I'll look forward to see if it fits, I hope it does and I apologise if I have caused you any doubt or concern with your purchace Here's a pic of my panel
G'day, Matthew, No, I don't have any concern. If it doesn't fit, I believe the seller will make it good. Air Calgary sells a lot of stuff on ebay and I don't think he can afford a nasty feedback. I'll keep you posted. It was shipped today.
By the way ... when I worked in the Middle East, I used to vacation a lot in Phuket Island, Thailand. Drank a many a beer on that beach with Aussie's. They always out-drank me. Been there?
I'm happy to report that the control lock arrived from Canada, and with one minor little bend of my pliers, it fits like a glove. Now I can get rid of the bent welding rod.
Good for you, its always nice to have a win every now and again, as mentioned when I saw the pic on ebay and thought about my lock, the bells started ringing, I'm glad it turned out ok in the end Look forward to talking again some time
G'day Matthew,
