Brief Description:  Wing bolt retainers - Inboard

Trimmy, trimmy. A bit ugly, but all OK.

Redrilled, countersunk and reamed to size.

Fitted retainers with the same hardware wing attach bolts, and AN505-10R-64 screws. These go in the port outboard one also, but for some reason the starboard outer needs a -67. Absolute bugger to reach. I contort on the floor of the back seat, with my head out a window, whilst Viki starts the screws from the outside. I will have to do that again when I put in the AN bolts, note that I have to do it BEFORE putting the window in...

After I recover a bit, bolt the wing on in needle-nardle-no time. MUCH easier with the inboard bolt fixed. It is actually best to locate the inboard bolt first, then jack the wing up and down until everything lines up.

Total time from lining up the inboard wing bolt to getting the wing bolted on, removing the trolley, checking the rib to rib clearance, and unbolting and removing the wing 25 minutes flat!
