I believe you should have 3/16 AD solid rivets in the kit for the spars. These can be set using a 4X rivet gun and the biggest bucking bar you can get in there. They will expand when set to form an interference fit in the holes. This is perfect as you also have a light weight fastener system. Bolts are very heavy. You wont get an interference fit with the AN bolts therefore not a good structural solution.

I went to a company sponsored course for general and airframe, and used the King for powerplant. Ignoring obvious things like interaction with other people, the King stuff was pretty good, if you can stay awake. -- ======================================= Jim B.
