Returntoservice

just to give a different option you could make as small bushing weld it to the steel reinforcement plates, enlarge the hole in the aluminum preferably with a file keeping it a nice tight fit for the bushing to go through and put it all back together. I hope this made since??? please see attached crappy picture for reference

I do understand your fix High Country, it’s a good idea. I’m going to have to check to see if the fuel tank attachment area covers the rivet holes for the reinforcement plate. I’m glad I finally chimed in on this web site, the knowledge on the Avid is impressive. It’s much appreciated, thanks all.

Un fricken real Randy, absolutely amazing! That would be so cool. Better luck next time with the coyote.

Excellent idea, I like the jig part. I see you have gussets on the bottom, I may do that for piece of mind. Thanks!

The company I work for uses a two part epxoy primer on acft, its very durable and expensive.

The tube is so short and stout I wasn’t sure how I would be able to bend it.

I'll have to put some thought into that. I'd rather do that than weld it. Thanks for the impute.

Wade,

Look up and read 21.303(b) and you will soon know why I am a homebuilder too!

It OKs "owner-made replacement parts" for Part 23 certified aircraft.

I hear what you’re saying, I’m somewhat familiar with owner built parts, working at a 145 repair station we have to build parts that are no longer available on behalf of the owner.

Hopefully the pictures posted. I have a problem, the fwd. wing spar attach point holes were not drilled correctly and don’t line up perfectly with fuselage attach point. The fwd. spar holes are approx. 1/8 of an inch aft of the fuselage attach point. I can’t get the pin to drop through. My plan is to remove and weld a new attach point on the fuselage, I figure this will be the easiest and safest fix. I'd remove the current fuselage attach tube and weld a new tube in 1/8 aft, using the same holes, no splicing of tubes. What do you think? Does my corrective action sound good?

Thanks Guys, I'll put some of build photo's up soon. Im sure sure I'll have question's as I progress with the biuld.

Hello Everyone

I've been searching (trolling) around this site for a few years looking for build information. I've got a MARK IV with a 582, which I acquired from a friend who gave up on it long ago. It’s all there, he bought it new sometime in the early 90's after a visit to the factory. The wings are about ready for covering, that’s what I've been working on lately. I’m a A&P mechanic by trade, most of my career has been spent working on corporate aircraft. I've done a lot research on the Avid, this website's been a big help. Thanks!
