Schematic for T-rudder mk 5? (I broke a bolt!)

Postby PMantix » Tue Dec 19, 2023 19:56

Howdy all,

I was using my T-rudder mk5 pedals last night when all the sudden I heard a "clang" and the tension in the pedals dropped to zero. Pedals still work in sim, but they don't return to the center position on their own now. Upon examination, I found some components rattling around freely inside the mk5s - including what looks to be the head of bolt which has been sheared off. I suppose this bolt was holding some spring in tension, and when it sheared the whole thing came undone.

I opened a support ticket with VKB already (#8193), but wondering if anyone have a schematic of the T-rudder mk5 assembly? Pretty sure I could simply remove the broken bolt and replace it... but I don't immediately see how the mk5's went together now that it has disassembled itself, ha.

Thanks!

Most likely, the head of the bolt on which the bearing running along the cam is located was cut off. DIN6912 M6x12
