Hey All,

  

 The upgrade kit instructions specifically warn against using a drill bit on the spar connection bolt holes but to ream to final size.  Good idea probably for all the bolt holes.  The question I have (since I'm fractionally challenged) is what reamer size and what type of reamer?  Should I get the fractional, the lettered or the numbered reamers?  Does it matter? What type should I get? etc. etc. etc. etc.  Any advice is greatly appreciated including where is the best place to order and the specific sizes for the AN3, AN4 and AN5 holes.

  

 Thanks in advance!!

Bill,



There are undoubtedly folks on this list who are better machinists than 

I am, but I can tell you that when I had to make new splice plates for 

my 601HD, I got all the tools - drills, collets, reamers - from Travers 

Tool Co.  1-800-221-0270.  I still have the reamers for the AN5 and AN6 

holes.  The part number for the AN6 reamer is 04-006-024.  The one for 

the AN5 is badly faded, but I think it's 04-006-020.  Hope this helps.
