I'm sure these are fine but I figured I should ask anyway. The top two bolts that secure the engine mount to the fuselage are AN6-24. The plans say to use washers as necessary to get the castle nut aligned with the hole in the bolt. However, it seems very odd to have 3 0.62 washers behind a nut like this... Especially in such a crucial area. I looked in Van's catalog and the AN6-24 happens to be the smallest size they offer. I could easily order an AN6-23 from aircraft spruce and it would eliminate two of those washers.
Thoughts???
