These units are designed so that the system hydraulics and other components can be bench mounted away from the production line. This approach creates a sub-assembly which is then easily mounted to the stringers adjacent to the Upper Rudder Bearing Bar.

    They are molded from the same carbon fiber composite materials as the Upper Rudder Bearing Bars and offer excellent strength. They are lightweight and easy to work with using conventional tools.

    Tides will custom design and configure each bar as required (at no cost to the builder) if a current production unit can't accommodate the components specified for use.

 

Before Ordering     Tides custom builds the Accessory Mounting Bars to builders specifications. The table below lists current configurations which are available. For your particular application, you will need to know the following dimensions: the overall distance outside-to-outside of the stringers ("A"), the position and spacing of the mounting hole centers ("B" and "C") and the width of the unit ("D").
