 Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 6:34 pm Post subject: Torque tube assembly doesn't fit |
 |
|
I am at the step:
"Cleco the assembly to the upper and lower flanges of the W-1010-R Inboard Wing Rib as shown in Figure 5. (The support brackets Cleco into the forth and fifth holes back from the front of the main flange not counting the tab.) Clamp the W-1029C Angle flush against the aft face of the W-1029B-L Torque Tube Support Bracket and the inboard face of the inboard wing rib."
The problem is that the assembly is in contact with the aft end of the forward lightening hole. Because the edge of the torque tube assembly is not against the rib, the holes in the rib flange from lining up. (In other words, it doesn't fit)
I am not sure what the best solution is..... take a bit off the assembly where it contacts the lightening hole or .... not sure what the other option is.
Any ideas?
(oh yea... working on the left wing. )

Be careful when you start thinking about taking off metal to make something fit. There is a chance that you have something backwards, on the wrong wing, upside down, etc. As I recall, "R" or "L" at the end of the part number does not always mean "Right" or "Left" wing. Inboard fuel tanks end ribs are an example, if I recall correctly. At any rate, it might be worth going back over the plans and making sure all parts are correct. Been there, done that.

Everything is right except the lightening hole interferes with the bracket. I have been told that the best solution is to remove the bend in the lightening hole where it interferes. I am going to call Van's later today and see what they have to say.

I remember that part it will fit but be real close to the lightning hole. I
will basically sit above the extrusion.
I just looked at mine last night.

Called Van's and they did not hesitate, flatten out the lightening hole where it obstructs the bracket.
Can't wait to get home and literally knock it out.
