I installed the bearings in the outboard aileron hinges today.   

I am ready to fit up the ailerons in order to fix the outboard hinges to the wing.   

The manual advises to    

"4. Temporarily bolt the flaps in place"    

however, I cannot find any instructions on how to do this except in Section 16, Wing Final Assembly and Installation, where it says:  

2. Install the Flap, use AN4 drilled bolt of correct length a castle nut and cotter pin to secure.   

The holes in the half hinges on the wing are differently sized that the holes in the half hinges on the flap, which makes me think that there must be more pieces to put them together than a simple AN4 driled bolt.  

Am I missing something?

colin,

   

  There are some oilite bushings in the kit, 3/8od 1/4ID and about 3/16 long. these get pressed into the flap braket so that the flange is between the flap brackets. Fit the flaps to the wing and determine the which side of the hinges works best for each one and press in to accomadate.

Thanks  Nick! I have found the bushings and am fitting them.

  

 I am  thinking that I should position the flaps so that the inboard end is as close as  possible to, but not further inboard than the inboard end of the wing. That puts  all my bearing flanges and and flap brackets on the outboard side of the  brackets secured to the wings.
