I was working on drilling my lower longeron to the lower WD603 lower engine mount bracket today for AN3 bolts. I drilled 4 #30 holes to act as pilots before I drilled the #12 holes for the bolts. I marked where the holes would end up on the bracket, and noticed that my edge distance is off by a large margin. My edge distance is 1/4" on the steel bracket, when it should be in the neighborhood of 3/8" - leaving me 1/8" off. Attached is a picture for clarity:
My guess is that this is OK since the joint is (a) in sheer and (b) the edge distance issue is on a heavy steel bracket. Build on (most likely) or worry?
Any advice is appreciated!
