The plan (Drawing No. 6) shows the two fittings that bolt to the lower longerons.There is no room on top of the longeron for a bolt for the 2 bottom tabs. Whatdid you guys do?Thanks,Lynn KnollWichita Piet/Vair________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 05 Aug 2005 21:54:29 -0500

If you are refering to the landing gear attach brackets, make them wider thanthe plan calls for. The bolts will need to clear the ash cross members.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----

Sorry for my last post. I answered about the main gear brackets. On the tailpost, I used a piece of stainless rod and thru bolted those fittings. That thrubolt then becomes the anchor for my seat belts and sholder harness.Dick N. ----- Original Message -----
