Mine will come either side or both sides.

I don’t use mine very often, but when they allowed my not quite 3-year old grandson to help put 98C away after his first light airplane ride they were worth every penny.

Miles… THAT Pic is a great candidate for The 170 News!…..and perhaps for a family Greeting Card!

Thanks for sharing!

I also did this, and recommend this instead of riveting. I've had mine installed for 2 years now, absolutely loving it. One of the best mods for the money.

The instructions say to use 3/16ths machine screws. Seems kinda short. I would think that is barely enough room to get the self locking nut on alone. Did it work?

I think they’re suggesting using a 3/16” diameter screw rather than 3/16” length. Not sure where you found that instruction though. My B.A.S. Installation instructions (Rev D April 14, 2004) say to use “either AN470 AD4 rivets or … #6-32 X 3/8” stainless machine screws and AN365-632 nuts.”

You are right about the screw designation. Mine are installed now with screws and I love the pull handles!
