How do you hold the camera btw?
I posted a reply on the video, but here I'll put it here just in case:
I am not sure I would have used washers on the bolt head side. I didn't when I bolted my HS-411 down to my rear spar. The plans manual details how many threads you need to have on the tail of the bolt after the nut has been torqued, and I am not sure there there will be enough threads on the tail using a washer on both sides.
5.20 in the plans manual states that you need at least 3 full threads past the nut after the proper torque has been applied. This is under the "MS Nuts" paragraph, but I am sure it applies to AN3* nuts as well.
These videos are spectacular! It's one thing to read about it but to see it is way more useful. Thanks for the effort!
Completely agree. However, If I go to a longer bolt and maintain the 3 threads would it not be better to have a washer on both sides?

I believe i might have made a major error. If you watch me setting rivets on the forward spar i just realized i am installing the rivets in backwards if the shop end is to be against the thinner material.
Is this a show stopper?
No I think you're fine. AFAIK this is more of a guideline than a rule.
George Orndorff mentions this in his wing video, although he is not sure of the reason other than it "looks nicer". I personally think it may be a future maintenance and repair issue. It's very difficult to cleanly remove a rivet if you can't access the factory head. Take a look at the recent aileron SB. Those who followed the "rule" and installed the brackets with the factory head against the thinner spar web will have a hard time removing the brackets if they need to.
Thanks to all who have been replying to these threads!
I will leave the washers out as per the knowledge out there.
