Oh, I guess I didn’t show you my “other” hangar… It’s always nice to have a back up.
Blue epoxy floor
My first RV…

I been thinking about Tim's response here and I know the truth regarding what he is up to.
Tim's wife says, "Honey, you have more extra bolts, washers, nuts and screws then you could ever use on our plane."
His reply, "Yah, I was thinking about that and I would hate for them to go to waste, I think I should start another project, it will be done once the kids move out and we only need two seats."
Very clever fox!!!!

But that's what I mean....I ordered like 8R7's, 8R8's, 8R9's, 8R10's, 8R... If you prepare and order some additional sizes above and below, you'll be ready. I found many places where a slightly longer screw was nicer, or where I had some reason to switch. And for some locations I used stainless screws instead of the Cad plated, depending on what it was for.
You'll want to probably replace ALL of the wingtip and fairing screws with stainless, and leave them unpainted if you don't like chipped paint screws.
Do the same with AN bolts, especially 3's and 4's....get some additional sizes. For general hardware, I found it better to just empty the Vans baggies into parts bins all sorted out, and then order a pile of replacement and additional hardware so I had a more complete assortment of hardware. At this point I rarely need to order anything. It promotes good maintenance because you feel happy to replace a screw when it's in worsening condition, rather than reusing it because you didn't have one.
Buy 100 packs of cotter pins too....especially the ones for the axles.
And washers, and nuts both nylock and all-metal. You'll also find that in doing the engine you don't always do things 100% identically to other people, so you'll want extra Adel clamps, and non-nylon nuts in the engine compartment. Washers too of course. The list is long but if you're going to be your own mechanic later you may as well spend the $200-300 on extra hardware....even some sizes not in the plans. If it were a rare size, I ordered 20, but common I just went for 100 packs for the discount. You can usually go up a size if you need to, in a pinch.

Yes guys I have been doing this orderring of all different bolts and screw....but, and as is the case these are 8R10s, I have 8R7s.
My finishing kit did not contain these screws.
I'll place another order and wait a few days. It not like I am doing anything you all haven't already done.
What I find difficult to do it order through Spruce because they use a different system of numbering. Anyone have a conversion chart?
Thanks

Yes, you should just order 100 packs of many standard size screws,
