Fuselage March 2008 Updates March 17, 2008 Brake Flange Bolts and Spacers.... - 2.0 hrs After further review of Jeffs site I know I had seen those bolts before. They are called shoulder bolts. There are no threads in the middle part. The more I though about it they had to be there. There were 2 of them and they were in one of the original flat boxes that I inventoried all of the fuselage parts when I got way back when I don't even remember. So I ran to the hangar this morning and there they were. I looked up the fuselage parts list and there they are from bag 1973-1. Along with 2 different nuts that are totally different than any of the others. Next I got out some .058 T6061 aircraft alum tubing. Ran a quarter inch reamer down it and cut out 8 13/16 inch spacers. I just love it when they do that. Can you even see a 1/16 of an inch. I can't. Anyway I knocked those out and am ready to finish up these. I found the number 4 AN-822 fittings and will tackle that tomorrow. Yippee! This website was built to document my work in compliance with the FAA requirements needed to certify my aircraft. My experiences and comments are by no means to be considered as instructions on how to build any aircraft.
