6A spar bolts in backwards?

[pierre smith]

Good mornin' everybody,
Our 6A is coming together quickly but many of the spar bolts just won't go in from front to rear because of the lip on the landing gear support structure. The manual is not very clear here. Does it really matter anyway?
Thanks in advance,
Pierre

Just install the spar bolts with an orientation that works. Indeed, some bolts can only be installed one way.
