I had to leave the shop the other day with this task left unattended. I performed the final torque on ends of the subassembly torque tubes for the right wing without needing any adjustments.
Moving to the left wing, I final torqued one side the. Moved to other. When I did the final torque, the bolt had a little over 1 thread showing, and it needed at least 3 to 5 threads . I didn’t check the opposing bolt, due to time constraints.
Since the lateral dimension of the subassembly is fixed per the plans at 17 3/4 “ to 17 25/32 “, I’m hopeful that I can loosen one nut and tighten the other, attaining the requisite threads exposed for both sides.
I won’t return to the shop til Tuesday, but I’m hoping this is a quick fix and loosening one end while tightening the other works out.
Any thoughts? Thanks. Jt
