Jim, I wouldn't go with a simple bushing or fat washer, cause any side "lever" forces would put pressure on the center of the bolt where it's weakest. better to bore the hole to the bushing OD , and have a long bushing go clear thru the strut catching both plates on the side of the wood strut. Then to keep the bottom of the strut in position, use a thin wall bushing over the exposed part of the long bushing. Kind of what was designed in the original plans offsetting the streamlined tube to one side. walt evans NX140DL ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Markle To: pietenpol-list@matronics.com Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2005 6:40 PM Subject: Pietenpol-List: Cabane mounting help.... Ok, so my center section was already built when I inherited a fuse that was 1" wider than plans.....so to keep the cabanes vertically straight, I had to add a some space to the cabane attach fittings along the top longerons on each side. So does anyone have an idea what's the best way to fill that space? I'm thinking a round bushing (sort of like a REALLY thick washer). Or (and this is my preference...), making a thick piece of Ash shaped kinda like the .040" fittings I've embedded to the ends of the cabanes....basically "building out" the bottoms of the cabanes to the "full" thickness... I typically think about this sort of stuff for months before figuring it out but my brain is tired and I want to finish this up....someone help me here..... (I made the attached picture small so hopefully it won't cause any download issues for anyone...) Thanks!

They had some problems and several AD's came out because people were finding out first hand why the prop is on the airplane. (Hint Its to keep the pilot cool. Let it stop and see if they do not start sweating.) Might not be a legal requirement on a homebuilt, but this one makes good sense.
