All-
Plans call for AN-4 bolts to hold gear forks to struts. Didn't receive enough AN-4 bolts to complete the assembly, but found enough AN-5 hardware to do the job, separate from the hardware kits.
Did Zenith upgrade to AN-5 bolts? What are you XL people supposed to use?

Update-
ALSO found enough A4 hardware to do the job, but not what's called out on the plans. I'm on the last legs and have enough hardware left to choke a horse, and no plan reference for it!!

Hi Bill,
You should build according to the plans. What got shipped from Zenith or any other vendor is a somewhat random process. You shouldn't change the design of your plane because some kid reached into the wrong bin for parts.
It is easy to order AN hardware from Aircraft Spruce or a number of other sources. In some cases Zenith will send you replacement parts for free. In other cases they will charge you considerably more than you can get it elsewhere and charge you shipping on top of that.
Good luck,
Paul

AN-4 are very up to the job Bill,
But if the bolts don't get in the way between strut, attach plate welds
on top and the tire tread under the fork, you're AN5s are probably good
enough.
I couldn't find enough space between welds and the hole pattern for the
forks to use AN5.

Larry-
I wound up with a PILE of AN-5 and AN-6 bolts that aren't called out
anywhere on the plans. I finally found 18 sets of AN-4-5 that worked quite
well. Nose gear is complete; carving out the right main at the moment. Had
to use a cutoff wheel in my circular saw to cut the 1/4" aluminum to size.
Looks like I'll have to jack the cradle up to install the wheels and brakes
when the time comes.

All-
I thought I was corresponding directly with Larry, but I guess not.
This was the most deceiving picture I've ever taken. When I looked at
it, I thought "Oh my God, I put the fork in backward, and the two pieces
separated". All parallax. If I took a picture 90 degrees to the side, it
would look just like the print.

On the XL the plans call for AN4-10A on the front gear fork. That is with the fork doubler. There are six bolts, 4 at the corners and two left and right with the center line of the side holes 8 mm in from the edge.
