Van's Instructions
Okay, not wanting to look like an idiot, I have spent way too much time trying to understand what is going on. I give up..
**EDIT: I should have said, I give up on trying to figure out how the instructions could be correct.. I'm not giving up on Van's, my airplane or getting this modification done.. ****
I recently received my baggage bulkhead modification kit and have been getting ready to install it. The kit didn't come with instructions, so I'm using the latest KAI's that Van's sent me on memory stick that deal with the Baggage Cargo Bulkhead.
The section that deals with the Baggage Bulkhead is KAI 33.03.
#1 - What the heck is a AN436AD3-3.5? The instructions seem to indicate it's a rivet. The kit included a bunch of rivets, but they all look the same to me. The instructions seem to indicate that I'm suppose to install 12 of them. I did a Google search of AN436AD3-3.5 and can't seem to find anything. I do notice that just below that it specifies using rivet AN426AD3-3.5 for the other style of platenut...
#2 - I see a Step #9 and a Step #11 in the instructions. Where or what is Step #10?
Are both of these issues just typos or am I missing something? If they are typos, more power to you guys building. If all of the instructions are like this section, the common sense, attention to detail part of me would go crazy by the time I finished building an entire airplane.
