Colin, I believe I have now changed it in the manual but if not I will make it so. nick _____ From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Colin J. Kennedy Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2008 6:28 PM Subject: Lightning-List: Builders: Spar box cont. After installing the spar box, I noticed that in section 24. Master Cylinder Installation, it says: 22. In the bottom of the rear spar box measure forward from the main gear leg socket 5/8", and in line with the socket. You should measure from the edge of the hole not the weld. 23. Drill a 1/2" hole here. Start with smaller bit and work you way up, this will be more accurate. I would have preferred to do this before I fitted the spar box, but now I will do it in place. Access may be a liitle difficult but I think a drill extension may be the solution. Colin K. OK Lightning # 52 under construction. http://www.mykitlog.com/cojaken ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:59:16 AM PST US From: Subject: RE: Lightning-List: Builders: Spar box cont.
