I have a 73 180J model and am in need of the bushing where the control yoke tube goes through the panel. I read a couple threads about some sorts of a Teflon ball bushing but this is something different. Ill see if i can get some pics uploaded. Does anybody know where i can source a couple of new ones? I found my current one laying in pieces on the floorboard on my last flight. Not Good.

Here is a pic

This is what it looks like installed

Order right from Yingling. Find the P//N in the IPC

This is the part number 0513056-3
At $20 each (need 2) ridiculously expensive for a part costing less than 25c to make

Better replace the u-joints too-- they're only about $350 each. Ridiculous.
