Hi! Alan.
I have used the 1/2" Avdel pip pins through both seat backs and packed them
forward with packing washers so the pip pin balls just lock. That way the
spars must stay snug in place. Also for ease of one man rigging I have made
"engagement ramps" on the starboard seat back socket(which receives the port
spar tip) by welding and extending the entrances to the socket with 1"
ANGLE MATERIAL of similar gauge material wich are also reduxed to the seat
bulkhead.
This ensures that the port spa has to engage the starboard socket by holding
the wing tip aft for the spa to pivot forwards as it is pushed home over the
wear strip at the bottom ledge of the access hole in the fuselage on the
port side.
This also presumes that you have installed the "cuff" around the port spa to
receive the starboard spa.
Hope you understand this? if not call my land line on 0044 1472 852498.
regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Also how did you attach it? With redux or bolt in.
