Did you happen to check whether the close tolerance bolts would fit the
individual components before integrating them? I would probably remove
the wing and try if not.
Also, have you been using a standard bolt (maybe with a "bullet shaped
end") to align all the holes. I used 4 such bolts of each of the two
sizes on a wing.

Subject: RV7-List: Installing wing bolts on RV-7A
I am having a problem trying to seat the lower left 7/16 wing attach
bolt on the left wing. I had no problem with the similar bolt on the
right wing. This is the bolt that's behind the landing gear structure,
the most difficult to get a wrench on its nut.
I oiled the bolt, and can wrench it to within about 1/4 inch from the
main spar, but can not wrench any more. I tried wiggling the wing and
loosened the 1/4 bolt next to it, it's the only other bolt installed.
But, no luck. it just won't turn. I hate to put a long pipe on the the
1/2 drive ratchet the I am using for fear of distorting the bolt head.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

| Subject: | Re: Installing wing bolts on RV-7A |
Is that the first and only bolt you have semi-in for that wing so far? If s
o perhaps installing a couple of the other bolts will better align things su
ch that original bolt will slide through. I used a couple of hardware store
bolts with the threads ground off to align things and left those in while i
nstalling the other close tolerance bolts. By that point it was fairly easy
to pull out the make-shift pins and slide in the final close tolerance bolt
s. Maybe that first bolt is pinched a bit if it's the only one in so far an
d perhaps installing the other bolts will bring things into better alignment
and allow it to slide the rest of the way through. Don't forget to start t
hreading the nut as soon as you have one or two treads through for those low
er bolts. Otherwise If you push them all the way through there won't be en
ough clearance to install the nuts. Good luck!

I'll keep trying.

This is the bolt that's behind the landing gear structure, the most difficu
lt to get a wrench on its nut.
> I oiled the bolt, and can wrench it to within about 1/4 inch from the main
spar, but can not wrench any more. I tried wiggling the wing and loosened t
he 1/4 bolt next to it, it's the only other bolt installed. But, no luck. i
t just won't turn. I hate to put a long pipe on the the 1/2 drive ratchet t
he I am using for fear of distorting the bolt head.
