| Subject: | Re: Installing wing bolts on RV-7A |
I installed the remaining wing bolts, and it did loosen up the tight bolt e
nough to get it seated.=C2- Thanks Dan, and the rest of the group for the
help.=0AHerb=0A=0AFrom: Dan Reeves <n516dr@yahoo.com>=0ATo: "rv7-list@matr

PM=0ASubject: Re: RV7-List: Installing wing bolts on RV-7A=0A=0A=0AIs that
the first and only bolt you have semi-in for that wing so far? =C2-If so
perhaps installing a couple of the other bolts will better align things suc
h that original bolt will slide through. =C2-I used a couple of hardware
store bolts with the threads ground off to align things and left those in w
hile installing the other close tolerance bolts. =C2-By that point it was
fairly easy to pull out the make-shift pins and slide in the final close t
olerance bolts. =C2-Maybe that first bolt is pinched a bit if it's the on
ly one in so far and perhaps installing the other bolts will bring things i
nto better alignment and allow it to slide the rest of the way through. =C2
-Don't forget to start threading the nut as soon as you have one or two t
reads through for those lower bolts. =C2-Otherwise If you push them all t
he way through there won't =C2-be enough clearance to install the nuts.
