My recently acquired RV-8 had an intermittent Comm radio issue that I finally narrowed down to the rear stick PTT mini mic type jack. I checked the male jack and all good but wiggling it would duplicate the problem. Problem was obviosly with the other side. The female jack was located on the main floor beam which meant it was covered by the floorboard with no access. Yesterday, I started drilling out the pop rivets and didn't think it was going to be a big deal to remove it. I've now got all pop rivets out, all screws out of forward seat pan which is removed as are the footwells, in short, everything Is loose but the floorboard won't budge. Are the flap nylon bushings on top of the floorboards? Do they have nut plates? I have the plans on a thumb drive but can't find the info on this.
Lastly, I'm not going back with a cheap mini jack arrangement for connecting the rear stick PTT. Any suggestions on a better connectoR?
Thanks
