 Posted: Sun Jul 05, 2009 12:03 pm Post subject: Rear Spar Bolt |
 |
|
Dear Listers,
I've got two questions regarding the bolt for the rear spar on the RV-8.
How come the rear spar is attached with a castle nut and cotter pin instead of an aeronut?
The plans call for "three" washers, but where does the third one go?
What torque is appropriate for this bolt? The castle nut implies it shouldn't be tight.
Thanks!

Matt,
I asked Vans that same question. They said that it should be tight and torqued to the normal torque value for that size bolt. No real answer for why it uses a castle nut instead of a self locking nut.
