If you don't have the trim tab,you will have to improvise,either get 2 shorter bolts or use some type of spacers.

On the first one, I bought shorter bolts. On the second, I used a 10-32 die and cut the threads so the longer bolts would work. I guess from Zenith's view, they do not know what your ailerons weigh so they gave bolts the would work with enough spacers attached.

Look Sent: Saturday, May 08, 2010 6:28 PM Subject: Zenith601-List: Aileron balance weight bolts I just completed the first of my aileron updates and in the course of playing with the balance weights couldn't find four bolts that would fit the job. I'm surprised there are not four of a kind AN3 bolts to use. What has been the required bolt to hold weights and was it in the upgrade kit? I've considered the possibility that the two AN3-37 are for the "light" aileron and the two AN3-30s are for the aileron with trim {which I didn't install}. If this is discussed in the notes or drawings, I missed it...
