Build Day 24- Left Rear Wing

Day 24- Left Rear Wing


Another lovely day to be working in the garage...

Left Rear Wing

We started the evening the same way as we started fitting the right wing, that was, until when loosely fitting the wing we discovered that the forward most rivnut was turning in the chassis. Therefore we had to remove all of the bolts in so far and then try and remove the bolt from the rivnut in order to see what we could do.

Making room for getting the bolt off.
Dad then used a drill bit to hammer a notch into the lip of the rivnut in order to be able to stop it from rotating while I remove the bolt.

Trying to stop the rotation.
This method ended up being successfull meaning we could carry on with the original procedure but with the added complication of the front bolt being slightly harder to tighten after. In the end the front bolt went in, possibly not as tight as we'd like, but it was in.

Finally on.
