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.
