Hi all, I have a Pratt Whitney model C with the later model plain taper attachment... as shown in this from the parts manual.
I am missing parts 6, "swivel stud," 12, "taper shoe," and 13 "swivel stud washer."
I'm fixing to make them, however from the end-view drawing I can't tell what the plan-view shape of part 12, taper shoe should be... is it round? Or is it, as I think may be the case, rectangular? Is it steel, or perhaps bronze for better wear characteristics? Also, why does the swivel stud centerline appear to be offset from the center of the taper shoe? Seems unlikely to be unintentional...
A couple pics or any explanation from someone who has one of these would help a whole lot.
Thanks!
