strut block bolts
Posted: Sun Feb 19, 2012 11:00 am
If the manual is read literally, it looks like there are supposed to be
a total of five (5) bolts through each strut block, and pictures I have
seen show five. (See http://n254mr.com/gallery2/v/Rebels/Misc/) However,
five looks like a lot, leaving quite a bit of the block (and strut)
drilled out.
At Oshkosh I saw Steve Whitenecht had four (4) bolts in each strut
block, which certainly looked quite adequate, at least through this
non-engineer's eyes. Steve (who was really helpful giving me a tour of
his very nice work -- thanks Steve) said he had used four because that's
all MAM had delivered with his kit.
So, which should it be, 4 or 5? Has anybody else used 4?
