All views below are for diagrammatic purposes only.

trim-fwd1.jpg (31699 bytes) A close-up of the cabin side.  The stainless wire has a reverse bend in it to create a turning motion in the wire as the arm is wound up-and-down by the thread. trim-fwd6.jpg (53245 bytes) The "L" shaped sheet metal bracket has a thread form in it that rides up and down on the screw.
trim-fwd2.jpg (40258 bytes) A view on the windshield side.
trim-fwd3.jpg (36648 bytes) I use a plate to support the wire on the windshield side of the assembly...
trim-fwd4.jpg (32883 bytes) ...and then the label plate screws on to this.
trim-fwd5.jpg (30682 bytes) View from the pilot's seat.  I will cut the end off the wire later.
