I also found that the AN12 bolts used to mount the wings on my IV are 3/8" 
too long.  I called Vern at Kit Components who told me that because of the 
variation in the widths of the spar boxes, Lancair was supplying one bolt 
that would fit all installations.  He suggested making a collar to fit over 
the bolt instead of using a lot of washers.  I asked the Tech Advisor from my 
EAA chapter who said that a build up of washers or a collar are acceptable 
because there are no sheer forces working on the bolts.  At Oshkosh I will 
try to find a 3/4" bolt that is the correct length, or several pounds of 3/4" 
washers.
