I was drilling the holes for the landing gear and the brake lines as per the template on DWG 34A for the RV-7A. It says to enlarge the pilot hole for the brake line as per DWG 28. DWG 28 says to drill it to 5/8" for the brake line. The problem is that 5/8" seems waay to big for the hardware called out on DWG 36A (AN837-4D 45 deg. Elbow). I already drilled the hole to 5/8" per the plans and there is a lot of wiggle room. Are the plans wrong on this or am I missing something???

5/8's is right

I had the same question when I did mine. The flange of the fitting goes through the hole in the skin and mounts to the weldment. The plans do not provide a good view AN fitting attaching to the weldment.

Thank you Rick. I would never have guessed that on my own. I looked at the plans many times and it didnt make sense.
