My control yoke has cracked at the attach point, and I need a replacement. Figured I would get on here and see if any of you fine ladies or gents have any advice or resources you could point me to. I would love to find one already wired with a PTT if possible. Check salvage yards (I found a post that listed dozens)? Ebay? Other members on here?

Welcome!!!!
Maybe someone will be along to help you in a while. In the meantime during your search, you could always swap the right one over to the left side. Your mechanic could probably knock it out in 30 minutes or less.

And welcome to our group!

I have a spare I was going to offer you cheap, but then I looked on eBay. There's a bunch of 150 control yokes for sale there for around $40. They usually go for at least twice that.

From what I can tell, each model year has a different part # for the yokes, and it looks like the shaft lengths I found on eBay can range from 14.75" to 16.5". Are these typically interchangeable, or should I be searching for parts specific to my particular year model? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,706 Likes: 155 Member/2500+posts | | Member/2500+posts Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 2,706 Likes: 155 | The yoke is riveted onto the shaft, so you can just change it out.

Except the rivets are $35 each and you'll need 4....and a $pecialty tool to install them. (Per Charles Hanna)

Hmmmm.... How much does it cost to cut down the shaft and drill a new hole in it?
