The An4-12A bolt through elevator horns and the HS 911 assembly fits too close to the horn shaft to tighten. Are there "small-headed" bolts available or can one be fabricated?

I can't help but believe that the erroneous way I did the nose gear pant is a little simpler. Instead of riviting the pant to the brackets, I left the brackets affixed to the gear and fastened the pant to it with screws and recessed washers.. My big dilemma is how do you fasten a tow bar to the nose gear, and what sort of a piece of equipment would you use? I realize that anything you use on that nose gear has to be used very gently, but there has to be a way to move this thing around, by hand, on the ground John Disher "Spending 90% of the time on the last 10% ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 07:07:19 PM PST US From: "Sportypilot" Subject: RV9-List: 60amp Alternator kit --> RV9-List message posted by: "Sportypilot" I have an older lycoming 0320 (no letters) and I am planning on buying the alt locally (honda lifetime waranty) I was planning on buying the brackets and plug from vans, but I don't know if the 60amp alt is boss mount or case mount anyone have any info on this ?

I realize that anything you Fortunately for you, you ignored Van's instructions. I hate having to pull the axle bolt out to remove my nose pant. Anyway, since my brackets are riveted on, I had to poke two sets of holes in the wheel pant to access the axle bolt/nut and the two hex head screws. I made the holes in the pant for the axle bolt large enough to fit my towbar into and latch onto this bolt. Works great. The tow bar is a "Bogi Bar", available from Spruce and others. I know others have also used the holes for the hex bolts that hold the forward bracket in the same manner. -- Tim Coldenhoff N194TC - Flying! http://rv9a.deru.com
