BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; } Well all you rv10 buikders out there. Looks like i finally mide my first big boo boo. And I will call Vans Monday morning.
When i final drilled the left and rt horv. stab fwd spar attach brackets i made sure to clamp both of them to a piece of angle stock so that they were final drilled parrallel to each other.
Well when i went to rivit them on today all looked well and i did not think to reclamp them to a piece of angle stock. Now here comes the probelm. The Left bracket is about 1/32 of a inch oft of parallel to the other. When i clap the angle stock to the rt bracket it contacts the inboard edge of the left bracket like it should.
When i clamp the angle stock to the left bracket it misses the rt bracket by a bunch. so this telles me the left bracket is not parallel.
I do think that it probable should be fixed, to prevent a twisting force on the bracket, rivits and HS fwd spar.
My question is can i just shave a very small amount off the inboard side of the left bracket bottom to get them back parallel, would this be a ok repair or should i make new bracket and redo it.
I do think i will order the material to make a new on or order one already made from the company that makes them on a cnc machine.
Boy was this very upsetting to find when i was finished with the front spar.
Word of advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks.

Just an Idea, but since it looks like they were parallel when you drilled them, just drill out the rivets…..clamp them down and re-rivet.

Another option would be to shim it back to level. When you attach the HS to the tailcone, two 1/8 shims get match drilled and placed under each bracket anyway. So adding a 3rd, thin shim to the stack shouldn't be a problem.
