wing spar I beam inserts

[zadwit 105]

It seems like I am going backwards.... I have this ridge runner 3 with 2.5"x.062 wall thickness wing spars... looking down the spar tubes I see no "I" beam inserts....

Im pretty sure it is built that way...GW=950# max.

My question is this. Can a person slide the I beam inserts in without removing the wing lift strut attach fittings?

I know this is Avid and Kitfox country however this forum and group of people are the true experts and there is such a wealth of knowledge here. Each person knows a little and collectively that is powerful....

The insert is centered on the lift strut fittings.  On the Avids and Kitfoxes, the fittings are glued and riveted in place. The rivets stick into the spar, so they will be in the way I'm sure.  Maybe if you clamped the fitings in place, (although the glue should hold them as well) and then drilled out the rivets, then slide the inserts in and drill and re rivet.  JImChuk
