I think this was previously discussed, but I can't find the thread to see if it was resolved.
The hardware called out to attach the Sight Glass Backing Plate in Fig. 1 shows the use of 4 washers per screw; note the "4X" before the washer identification. Thats a lot of washers, but I went ahead and followed the plans.
Recently while working on the Canopy, I ran short of washers. Guess what, they were the same washers, NAS1149FN632P. Eighteen of these are also used for the center section of the Instrument Panel.
E-mailed Van's Support about this. We went back and forth until I pointed out the "4X" on the drawing. I was told this was a typo and will be corrected on the drawing in the future. Only one washer is required. Additional washers will be sent.
