Tyler,
Re Wing pins, W 24, I recently replaced the W 24 wing pins on my Europa XS, and was surprised at the increased length of the threaded portion of the pin that arrived. (Approx 3 times longer than removed pins).
I rang Karen at the Europa factory to check that the part was of the correct specification.
The reply was that the long pin was now standard , as supplied for the mod 52 (classic wing) modification, ie the pin is long enough to pass through the mounting plates, and after cutting a hole in the underside (of the classic) wing a flox resin pad is created under a washer and nylock nut, hence the longer thread.
So a check assembly (dry run) should confirm if the installed pin length will allow the nut and washer to all fit.
Or ring Karen first at the Europa factory and ask if the pins they stock are the same size as the pin you have ( and the current part number) she is very helpful .
PS when you go ahead get your inspectors sign off before you close up the access hole !
Regards
Kevin

Subject: Rear Wing Pins
I just recently purchased a partially completed monowheel "classic" kit. The rear wing pins have not been installed and I have all the parts for Mod 52. The pins with the Mod are sized W24/4 and because I was unsure whether they were the original W24 pin or new, I test fit them into the socket assembly W26A,B,C and they fit perfectly. However, in reading Mod 74, it lists the pins as W24/7. When reading Mod 52, in the body of the text talking about socket assembly, it relates the new W24/5 pin should be test fit. So, can someone tell me the difference between the W24/7, W24/5 and W24/4 terminology as it relates to the pins? I know it is proabably a simple answer for this esteemed group, but I appreciate any info as I am trying to increase my knowledge of this wonderful aircraft.
