i am reading the plans to mount the stab. to the tailcone bulkhead and can't figure out the desired set up for the an4 bolt and lateral play of the bearing on the bolt.
it one of 3 things...
#1 the bolt runs out of thread and ''bottoms'' on the nutplate, what ever lateral play there is can't be taken up except by washer thickness.
#2 the bolt tightens the brackets and washers against the bearing, ''grabbing'' the bearing so it only turns in its race, not on the bolt.so washers should take up all slack.
#3 the bolt is threaded into the nutplate and washer thickness has been adjusted so there is just barely play.
i would think it is #2 but i couldn't find anything in the plans to support this.
