I had to take the TruTrak Autopilot out of my RV-7A and when I reinstalled it, the three bolts that hold it against the spar were snugged but did not seem to get tight. I wonder if the plate nuts on the back of the spar could be
stripped out. Seems that a steel plate nut would not strip with an aluminum
bolt. In order to replace the plate nuts, I have to take the gas tank off?
Anybody out there have this problem? I would love a creative way to further tighten the bolts. I greatly appreciate any feedback.
