Re:
I used the lower end of the range for bolts of
that size. If you need the actual values I can get them from my AME's
reference book when I go to the hangar next, probably tomorrow. Let me
know. These are bolts that need to be checked regularly, rather like the bolts
for a wooden prop. The material being clamped is wood and is more
compressible than metal and the bolt can become loose leading to cycling of
the bolt and probably fatigue. Worse than that it is a progressive
situation as the looser it gets the looser it gets! If you see what I
mean. The same situation can occur with the main spar
bolts.
