Electronic drawings show a fiber insert nut, no?

Hey Ben,
Check out #38 section H-H. The bolt that he's referring to is the one that connects the rear spar of the wing to the fuselage. |
At least on the vintage for my 6, the bag contents for this hardware was an AN365 and A bolt. That is what the factory provided. They didn't provide a drilled bolt. This might explain why so many are this way.
What is in the current kits inventory sheet for this bolt? Do they supply the correct bolt and nut? I check mine at each CI, and while it makes sense that this bolt can move, mine has always remained torqued. So, each time I get there in my CI, with full intent of changing it out, I check it and move on. I am not arguing this shouldn't be a drilled and safety'd assembly, but, the factory didn't seem to care at the time. I think this falls into the category of "good practice", rather than a true safety concern. I have never heard of any issues related to using a nyloc here, but I am not saying it isn't a good idea, and it is what the plans show. |
And we're not just talking about the -7/7A, right? So, on the -9/9A, on drawing 38 Section G-G, it lists:
AN5-10 Bolt 3x AN960-516 Washer AN310-5 Nut MS24665-208 Cotter Pin These attach the W-907 Rear spar assembly to the F-705 bulkhead assembly. Cheers, |

I do not know what kit they supplied them in. Perhaps someone currently at this stage can comment. If Van's has continued to supply the "wrong" hardware, or different than the plans, what Vic is seeing would have a common thread. ( typing while someone was answering. Good to know they supplied the correct hardware with that kit - Thanks Raymo! ) |
Always a drilled bolt for the -6
Quote:
The early plans called for a AN5-7 bolt, AN310-5 nut and a AN960-519 washer. A later edit in 1997 changed it to a AN5-10 bolt and added the cotter pin. In 2001 the number of washers call out was increased to 3. A drilled bolt has always been specified for that location on the -6. |
