I began installing the landing gear mounts in my 9A this morning. Everything went well, but I have a question for those of you who have already done this. The bolts that go to the wing carry-though bulkhead (F-904) and though the thick alum bar are called out as -12A. I torqued these properly, but the threads just barely come out to the edge of the lock nuts. I thought you should see at least a couple of threads on a tight bolt. Has anyone else noticed this and is it OK to leave it as is, or should I be using a longer bolt?
