They fit a 18 mm wing bolt. That includes the front and back bolts at the wing root of the double seaters.

These washers internal diameter is 17,8 mm. They are a bit smaller than the pin in order to stay in place when installed.

 

The visible part of the pin is 48 mm long and has a diameter of 18 mm. The inner part is 42 mm long and has a diameter of 40 mm.

It is used on the wing roots front part of the double seaters as well as for the front and rear roots of the Janus.

It is used on the wing roots front part of the Discus, Discus-2, Ventus, Ventus-2c and Ventus-3S.

Some slightly older gliders, such as the Discus b, use this part for both the front and the back. Others will have a longer pin at the back. You can find it in the suggested product list. Please check carefully which version your glider uses.

The deflection pulley is used to eliminate friction from the Bowden cables (in mosquito cleaner systems) in the event of major directional changes of the cable to enable lower manual force/power consumption and faster cleaning.

• Aerodynamic shape.
• Streamlined, therefore minimum resistance.
• Fiber reinforced plastics with high strength.
• No buckling and no twisting of the components.
• UV-resistant.
• Double guided cleaning fialments: cleans efficiently and glides stably.
• Rests against the profile above and below the wings during the cleaning process.
• Fast mounting.

The BWS Flexiwiper can be retrofitted to almost any glider. For all Schempp-Hirth gliders, the retrival line is routed below the wing. Only this option is available in this shop.
