4-7-C-M-11.......DOUGLAS C-47/DC-3 CONTROL WHEEL CENTER.....Unless you worked on a C-47, you probably never paid much attention to this part, even though it was hard not to look at!......in the center of the control wheel on the Douglas DC-2/3-C-47/C-53, there is a large nut that holds the control wheel on....to hide the 'ugly' castle nut, Douglas tapped three holes in the washer that sits below it, and made these neat aluminum 'hub-centers' to fit over the washer and attach by three small screws.....many DC-3's are now missing these hub centers, using either incorrect hubs, or flying with none at all....hub is heavy wall aluminum, with 3 evenly spaced screw holes, and is the shape of a 'button', measuring 1.5" across and 1.3" tall......I have a few of these originals in new old stock condition, still with the acid wash black coating on them.......(I also have the nut that this fits over, see page 6 of this section).....buy a set while you still can get the originals!............$27 each
