Aermotor tailbone pivot part

Have a part you can't identify? Did your parts get mixed up in the shop? Curious if that chunk of metal is a part you should keep? Not sure what kind of windmill or tower you have? Post photos of the mystery object here for the community to help identify.

Aermotor tailbone pivot part

Post by NV-WindmillProject »

Hi everyone

I noticed this thing on the tailbone pivot of 14 and 16 foot Aermotors. (the small white rectangle)
What is this exactly?

Thanks

It was not a separate part as it was riveted to the lower angle of the bone before being hot dipped. Worn tail bone holes for the tail pin was the result of the single bolt not holding the tail pin from moving. The sandwich bracket on the E and F kept the tail pin more solid solid to reduce movement and wear
