|
|
Our manual says to use a bolt into the wing spar for the jury strut bracket, which I can't see as even doeable.
Is anyone riveting them to the spars? Thanks |

My brackets they gave me to attach the jury struts wrapped arount the struts then clamped tight with a bolt through the jury strut. Is that what you are talking about?

Nope, it's where the bracket attaches to the wing spar itself. |

| oh...ok....I believe what I did {since it is covered now can't remember}. But I believe it called for rivets and epoxy. I am pretty sure. Bolts? Can't see that working on the spar. |

I can't either but that's what the manual says. Even specifies part W0700.00 bolt!
I'm going with solid core 1/8" Cherry max rivets and epoxy I guess. |

I gave up on the manual long ago and just riveted with epoxy each one.

Honest to God truth - can't remember if I even looked at the manual on that one. I riveted/glued because that's what I saw at Walhalla. Here's the only picture I have of that process.

Yeah, that's what we're doing. One of my helpers was looking at the manual. The 53" measurement seemed reasonable. |
