Folks,

I'm in finally assembly of my RV-6A and have a couple AN970-516 washers

(sort of a "fender" washer).  Can any -6A builder's advise me where these

are to be utilized?  It seems to me the only -5 bolt is the one attaching

the rear spar to the fuselage spar carry thru fork; my drawings show using

AN960 washers in this application. Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Hi Marty in Brentwood TN,



On the -7A's, I think these washers are used on the front axle to provide for a 

slot of sorts for the nose gear fairing.  Perhaps it's the same on -6A's.

As there are only two they may be the ones used on the wing leading edge to fuselage attaching point.

Could they be for the wing leading edge/tank mount where the bolt is 

adjusted to slide out of the bracket in an accident that pushes the wing 

aft?

Thanks for the idea Nelson, but my kit was prior to this mod for the nose

wheel.  I've since order the updated parts and modified mine and I believe

the axle is a AN6 bolt not a AN5 but my plans are at the hanger.   



Always great to hear from Das Fed :>), but I already checked this and the

leading edge tank to fuselage bolt is a AN4 so "NO JOY" here.



Great ideas of things to check, I'm still trying to sort this out.

Perhaps a call to Van's is in order.
