Abstract: Double flanged clevis pins are provided in aircraft flight control pulley systems and are mounted between the opposed side walls of the pulley mounting bracket at a closely spaced separation distance relative to a respective pulley and the cable retained within the pulley groove. The outboard facing surface of each of the clevis pin flanges is positioned in abutting relationship with an adjacent inboard facing surface portion of a respective one of the opposed side walls of the mounting bracket while outboard ends of the clevis pin extend coaxially outwardly therefrom and through the adjacent mounting bracket side wall. The central pin section of the clevis pin is therefore closely spaced above an adjacent portion of the circumferential edge of the pulley in which an aircraft control cable is received. Such an assembly thereby serves to maintain the control cable within the pulley groove and prevents one or both of the bracket side walls from being deformed over time that may in turn undesirably chafe the control cable.
