I have just mounted my landing gear on my RV-8 project that was started in 2000 . I am the second owner / builder of this project .
Everything went well mounting the landing gear legs until I put the outer longeron "C-clamps / bar" on and inserted the bolts that it called for on the plans ( NAS6206-27 ) . When I put on the washer and nut (NAS1804) and snugged them up for fit I am seeing at least two threads down inside the NUTS ! which is a little less than 1/8" , so to get two thread above the NUT I would need about a 1/4" longer bolt .
I have searched the Posts and can not find anyone having the same problem as I have .
Now understand , I have double checked that all pieces involved are seated properly without any gaps .
Has anyone had this problem or is it just me ?????
