Can you give us a part number on the aileron bracket? Is it the bellcrank that joins the aileron push-pull tubes from the control column and the aileron?

They responded it appears they had an oversight and did not include the correct nuts in the RV-9 inventory. The AN365-1032 nut will work, but it is tight. Vans is correcting their inventory and sending me the bag with the correct nuts. I suspect many if not all of the RV9 wing packages did not include these nuts. "The inboard aileron bracket has a screw that secures the bracket to the control tube.The print calls for this screw to be secured with a MS21083-N3 lock nut. It appears on the print to be a thinner version of an AN365-1032. None of these 21083 nuts came in the kit. I checked all the inventory sheets and there is no mention of this nut."

Me again. I seem to ask lots of dumb questions. The F996tank attach brackets are meant to have a 2.7degree bend put in them. How the hell does one do this. (Despite my surname) I am finding it quite impossible to move this gauge of metal. Technique? Thanks, Steve. ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:03:18 PM PST US From: "Albert Gardner" Subject: Re: RV9-List: Wing attach brackets. --> RV9-List message posted by: "Albert Gardner" Steve: Do this one when your wings are on for the trial fitting. Clamp the bracket in a vise and whack it with a hammer and see if it fits, If not, whack it again. The band will occur in the area away from the corner and all it needs is a small amount of bend.

It goes on screw MS24694-S67 that holds the aileron control tube W918 onto the Aileron bracket A907.
