This may be more for the taildragger guys. I'm looking at the plans and it says the top AN4 bolts (on the foward plate) should be drilled 3/8 inch from the top of WD-409 tail spring mount. There's also a note to be careful about edge distance too. I calculate that the edge distance for a AN4 bolt should be 1/2 inch. Are edge distance for bolts different than for rivets?
Also for QB'ers, any tips on how to secure the tail spring mount while trying to drill it? I can't figure out how to get a clamp down in there. On QB's, the forward bulkhead (F-711) is already completely riveted in already and you have to drill the tail spring mount while intalled in the tail.
Thanks
