The bottom-most rivet on the side skins through the center section seems to intersect with the weldment flange that takes the 5 bolts. Here's a picture: http://hmb.dyndns.org/~eastham/rv/images/20040813_IMG_1219.JPG Seems like the safest thing to do is remove it and relieve the weldment -- wish I hadn't bolted it in yet! Those bolts at the bottom sure are hard to work on, and the seat pan platnuts make removal very difficult. If you haven't gotten this far yet I'd highly recommend figuring this out before installation...I'll post Van's response as well when they get back to me.

I finally went into the paint shop last week. Jeez, I suddenly have nothing to do and I've run out of my favorite excuse for not going to wifey, boring functions: "Sorry Hon, have to work on the plane tonight." She's fired the gardner now that "I'm freed up again" and I'm scheduled for the next Chamber meeting next week. Hmmm, that RV10 kit looks pretty interesting... Chuck W.

I know that gelcoat tends to crack after a period of time. Any advice on this is appreciated Peter RV9A waiting for wings ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:29:44 PM PST US From: Sargentclt@cs.com Subject: Re: RV9-List: 9A gear weldment --> RV9-List message posted by: Sargentclt@cs.com I have a 7A and I remember somewhere the rivet call out is to double flush this one and the one on the other side as well. By your picture you don't have the gear bracket bolted in. The rivet goes inside out BTW I think this will solve your interfearance problem Tad Sargent ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:55:49 PM PST US From: Paul Eastham Subject: Re: RV9-List: 9A gear weldment --> RV9-List message posted by: Paul Eastham Well, my blueprint shows a universal head rivet and no note for double-flush or inside-out in that location. I don't think inside-out would be sufficient to solve the problem.
