Hi all,

Having my S1 wings removed, I took the opportunity to check all attachment points to the fuselage. When I slide the AN4 bolt in the lower wing spars, I noticed a slight play. I think the play is small enough to be acceptable, but if wanted to remove it completely, I was wondering if oversizing the hole in the spar and placing a 0.250 ID bushing there would be acceptable. Any of you guys done this before? Any other idea to remove the play?

Thanks,

-Dimitri
