Hello,
I am installing and drilling my 9A landing gear mounts and are finding that I have a 0,063" (1,6 mm) gap between my landing gear mounts and the F9101 web-gear attach, where the 5 AN3 bolts go through the skin, the lower longeron, the web and the gear mount. This is with two wing bolts in, so there can not be any misalignment. I could not find anything about the need for shims on the drawings, in the manual or on this Forum. Has anybody come across this?
I made up two shims, out of some 0,063 alu, which seems to solve the problem. Would there be any reason not to use shims in this area? (maybe I will need slightly longer bolts?)
Thanks in advance for your replies,
Regards, Tonny
