Section 35-03 update
Posted 12 Oct, but updated 10 May! You have to wonder why it takes Vans so long to post changes on the website.

OK, we need some attention to detail buffs in on this one. I ran off revision 2 and compared it to revision 1, after 15 minutes I have failed to find what (if anything) was changed! Has anyone else figured this out? Looks like Vans could tell us what changed, since I assembled mine to revision one, what do I have to do to update to revision 2?

Bolt
Don,
Looks like the AN6-24 is changed to a AN6-23A

So, what did they send us; AN6-24's, AN6-24A's, or AN6-23A's??
The parts inventory says AN6-24's. I may have missed that minor detail on inventory, and I don't recall it being a drilled bolt, when I installed it.
Whatever was sent is installed and seemed to tighten up okay!
I'm sure that if this was really a problem, with our installation of the gear legs, we would have gotten a change notice, or, a mod to do.
I think that this is a "do nothing" item for us builders.
Tom

I certainly agree that if Van is going to the trouble of publishing a change, it is no more work to add the item changed note in sheet data block.
"Back in the day" when the plans were hand drawn by Van, changes were noted.

I don't think the change is showing a drilled bolt. There is no cotter pin depicted and AN6-23A is avaliable undrilled. Mine is assembled and I don't see any reason to change it.

My Understanding
My Understanding is:
The "A" represents undrilled bolts.
The lack of the "A" means that it is a drilled bolt

The original bolt in the plans was a drilled AN6. There was never a cotter pin that was installed. Must be a change to an "A" so there is no cotter pin needed. The other may have caused confusion as it was installed with a nylon locknut and no pin.
