Help...

This my sound silly but acording to MAM's instructions (page 42)
Fus 85 and Fus 87 are supposed to be bolted together with four AN3-5A bolts
bach to back with the heads of the bolts on the inside.

As near as I can figure there is no way to fit these bolts in to the FUS-87
Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

Brad.

OK, found the reference. I remember this has come up before so there is
something in the archives. It's hazy for me but I think some folks said
they had no problem. Some might have put the bolts on at least one side
with the nuts in the middle?? As long as you can still get the vertical
tailspring bolt in I don't see why it would matter which way the bolts
go in...

Thanks Ken.

Yes they will fit if you put the nuts on the inside for one of the sides.
I was concerned about doing that because MAM is very specific about the heads
of the bolts going to the inside.

Just a note, I do search the archives before I tackle each stage and it's
amazing the knowledge and help thats on this list.

Brad,

I asked Brian at MAM Tech about this a couple years ago. He told me it was OK
to reverse the bolts. Why they don't take a couple of minutes to edit the
instruction so new manuals will be correct is beyond me. If you read ahead to
the fuselage building chapter you will see a drawing of the engine mount
brackets bolted together with the bolt heads outside. The parts are similiar.
