Subject: RV9-List: Centre section bolts

--> RV9-List message posted by: "D,C,Jones" <cliffjones@look.ca>

I'm at the stage of fitting the 904 centre sections together with the spacers to
match-drill the bottom skin and the 904 H side plates.  The problem is with
the 7/16" bolts through the 904 centre sections being REALLY tight. 

I realize that these need to have a really snug fit, but these bolts seem to be
too tight - I need to use a fairly heavy blow with the dead-blow hammer (soft
face) to get these bolts to move, even with them oiled.  I don't want to damage
the bolts or the aluminum pieces. 

Any suggestions?  Please.
