RAM Claw

An update to my earlier posts... Based on this article, I think I’d now recommend picking up one of the newer RAM Tough-Claw™ yoke mounts. (I haven’t tried it yet, but I'm increasingly of the opinion that you can’t go wrong with RAM gear.) Caveat, the older yoke mount clamp has a shaft diameter range of .625"-1.25", equivalent to the ‘small’ size in the “claw” range:

ModelSizeShaft Diameter
RAP-B-400USmall.625"-1.5"
RAP-B-404UMedium1"-1.875"
RAP-B-401ULarge1"-2.25"

Piper Cherokee yoke shafts are either .75" (older style, 1960s (mostly?)) or 1.125" (newer style, started in the early 1970s(?)), so the small claw will fit either. I believe Cessna (C150/152/172) yoke shafts are in the same range.
