I would suggest you try and clamp the 803 down to use it as a drill guide. In our situation the 803 block rode up the drill slightly and it made our hole a little out of square to the longeron. we then cut a bushing and put it in the hole and used the inside of the bushing as a drill guide for a 1/4 inch bolt which we were able to tighten down then we increased the size to the 3/8 required. All of the other holes went well. The last bit of work was getting the clearance the plans require of .030 between the wear plate and the face of the 803 block. To get the block out you must disassemble the entire gear leg grind down the block and reassemble,torque and check the clearance with a feeler. We must have disassembled our gear leg about 6 times before we got the clearance correct. I hope this helps Shane Summerhays slc rv-6 super-8? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:10:20 AM PST US From: "Shane Summerhays" Subject: RV8-List: super-8 --> RV8-List message posted by: "Shane Summerhays" Has anyone out there built or is building a super-8?

INMAN > ghinman@attcanada.ca > CELL 204 799 7062 > HOME 204 287 8334 > George - It's essential that the gear "box" nestle snugly against the inner skin before drilling, or else your gear leg might not be properly positioned to allow the outboard retainer blocks meet the curvature of the gear leg where they should. I'm sorry I can't use part numbers - my plans are at the hangar. Like Van says - think, then drill!
