I'm looking for a ruddder trim knob for my PA-30. The part # in the book is 24342-00 in a new/new surplus/servicable condition.
Mine has a crack from the radius extending down to the shaft.

Bernard.... I think I've got one, but darned if I can find it today. I do know that I had one cracked as you describe... in 2 pieces. I got a good brand of crazy glue (purchased at Oshkosh). Glued it and then tightly wrapped the hub/shaft with safety wire and with a pair of safety wire pliers I got a nice tight wrapping. I was careful to avoid the set screws (from memory). I let it set overnight... installed it the next day (while I had a new one in shipment -- that I can't find) and it was still holding up when I sold the airplane several years later.

I'll keep looking.

Webco has them New for $39, so I ordered one. Evidentely Webco has more parts than are listed in their catalog.Thanks for the response.
