Cheers:
        This general message directed to Mod 52 (Fuselage buttress, AUW
increase kit) and to Bob Harrison G-PTAG, and Tony Renshaw. I have
already acknowledged Andy Draper's advice......

        The kit does not cater to those who are building in the larger bushes
for glider wings, greater AUW, etc. I am indebted to the above for the
advice they sent and am proceeding with the installation thuswose:
        I will ise the port wing spar 3/8in bushes for a jig, and the S10
ferrule (3/8OD, 1/4ID) as the jig fitting to drill out the present wing
bushings, and the cockpit bushings. NOTE: as received, the S10 was
2/1000in under ID. I used a commercial engine reamer to bring it into
compatibility with a quality 3/4in hole saw.
Happy Landings
