When I ordrered the fuselage kit I deleted the tailwheel assembly, as I intend to go with a Flyboy. What I did not know at the time was that this assembly included the tail wheel spring and tailwheel spring mount, both of which I still need. So I ordered these parts separately from Van's (by the way, the 2 parts cost nearly as was discounted by deleting the whole assembly, so I wouldn't do that again). I received the parts this weekend and was surprised to see that neither the spring nor the mount were drilled for the holes where the spring is bolted to the mount or where the tailwheel is bolted to the spring. I expected to have to drill the mounting holes in the plates where the mount attaches to the bulkheads, but not these others.
Is this correct? I can find no mention of drilling the mount and spring. This is really sturdy steel (especially the spring) and I'm not sure I have the means to drill it. Can anyone help?
