My 737 linked yokes build - yokes completed!

[Flying_Fox]

Well, my 737 linked yokes build practically completed and ready for install into sim. 



compare to this previous photo:


Main recent development was the actual yokes installation. I bought the yokes from aviasimulation.com. They are 100% copies from 737 yokes and made from hard plastic (same as goes for construction hats).

Here is the picture the yokes during production process.


The yokes I have received have all switches are fully wired and have backlighted trip counters.  Excellent quality. I am very happy with this acquire.
Here are the pictures:









Trim switches are separate:


Trip counter backlighting feeds from 12v.



I also got some other stuff from aviasimulation.com:




I finished the outer housing for yoke columns - they are made from standard 3" ABS pipes. Outer housing is only decorative and does not have any structure supporting functions.



Here is the insert I made to install the yoke on my column:




Here is how I completed the yoke wiring:


The existed yoke wires went into a small PCB panel where I added those green connectors. Then the wires go from the green connectors to standard CAT5 network connector:



The installed network cable goes in between the actual yoke column and outer housing. Ground wire is separate, as there are only 8 wires in CAT5 cable.



Will post more details later in my building thread.
