    Subject: front spar bracket - HS
    The holes being lower should be no issue if the head of the bolt that goes into those brackets is able to make revolutions. Even if not=2C the bolt ca n insert and it is the nut coming up from the bottom which will need to be making the revolutions as it will be closer to the bulkhead. Just make sure the structures that are below the aluminum deck will have en ough meat on the sides so that there are no minimum edge distance issues an d the revolution issue with the bulkhead I am a bit concerned about the fact that I did my rough cuts with plasma cu tter=2C but finished them off with a huge bench wheel sander for metal. The repeated heat cycles first with the plasma cutter then the wheel polisher are perhaps a concern=2C but I let the metal cool slowly between cycles coo ling them with water only after initial cooling=2C just so that I cold hold them longer with a gloved hand. > From: Tim@myrv10.com > To: rv10-list@matronics.com > Subject: Re: RV10-List: front spar bracket - HS > Date: Thu=2C 18 Mar 2010 20:36:18 -0500 > > > Make 'em perfect or buy those aftermarket ones.....when you see how > they fit into the plane and hold things together=2C you'll be glad > they're as perfect as they can be. > Tim > > > > On Mar 18=2C 2010=2C at 6:45 PM=2C "JHearnsberger" > <jakehearnsberger@gmail.com> wrote: > .com >>> >> >> These brackets have been driving me crazy.

    FWIW -- I called up Van's today and ordered a new part. When I explained why I was re-ordering it they insisted on giving it to me at no charge (eve n though I offered to pay repeatedly, since I missed this problem during my inventory). Nice! The more I interact with Van's as a company the more I like them. :-) Chris On Mon, Mar 15, 2010 at 2:36 PM, Gordon Anderson <mregoan@hispeed.ch> wrote : > I found a similar problem last week but looking into it harder I was > convinced that the R1004A and B were wrongly punched.

    Thanks for the handle reminder. I already have the flush handles from iflyrv10.com. The other items are in the FWF, not the Finish kit, but I'll keep them in mind. I'm implementing a VP-200 so most of these aren't applicable to my installation.

    I too am just about to order the RV-10 Finishing kit from the Van's factory. Do you know what the kit contains or where there is itemized list of the Finishing Kit's contents.

    As a reminder- when in doubt- look on Tim's site- he has everything- The deal is people scan the plans and send to Tim to add to the RV-10 plans link- as an example- anyone with the new FF-6 plans (newer than 2/24/2005) please scan them and send to Tim to post I don't have a way of doing it or I would have, The current version, on his site, shows the old "original" plans with one exhaust. I have the newer two muffler exhaust, as most do. I really like to have all the plans on pdf for reference.
