Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

That's probably the best idea Jeff. Logically thinking, if all the components (band anchor, strut, adjuster & apply lever) are the same as before the overhaul, then the problem can only be with the band itself. I would be tending towards manufacturing tolerances, where the band was manufactured at the absolute lower end of the permissable inside diameter & passed QC due to it being within tolerance. I have to deal with stuff like this at work every day. Now let me get to the shop & get that strut measurement for you!
