Thanks for the reply.
My bolts were very tight. I had to make a short bullet shaped bolt with no head
to push thru before the threaded bolt would go.
I lined up all the holes with temporary bullet shaped bolts and replaced them one
at a time with no weight on the wing.

Is it possible that you over torqued the bolts? It would have to be a
pretty large over torque, so it=99s hard to think it=99s
really the cause, but if they are over torqued just enough the bolt
could =9Crelax=9D and loosen just a bit. This is an
intrinsic failure mode of steel and one of the things that makes it more
forgiving to work with than aluminum. To be safe, I=99d replace
all the bolts and check the calibration of the torque wrench when
replacing.
If you ever find the cause, I=99m sure many of use would like to
know what happened.
