The strut takes the load.
Installing two bolts will actually weaken the structure, promote fatigue
cracking, etc. The bulkhead strength is for one bolt only. Highly
recommend you follow the manual for this.

Thanks

Dave,

The forward stabilizer attach bracket is a good location for Click Bond
nutplates. One hole instead of three required by regular nutplates. Contact
(http://theflightshop.com) for whatever sizes you need.

ABSOLUTELY NOT !

Becomes a cantilever beam and it's not designed for that. Bad place for MAM
to put a tooling hole......

I'm a drilling the forward attach fitting to the bulkhead and the manual
shows only one attach bolt. I don't want to fold my horizontal stabs, so
can I install two bolts in the forward fitting? or is it really needed?
Thanks
