Brief Description:  Torque Bolts going through wing main spar.

Time to torque the bolts that go through the two halves of the wing main spar. These bolts also go through the seat rib flange. The nut fits in-between the two halves of the main spar. Not a lot of room to get a wrench and torque wrench in-between there. I sacrificed a socket and ground it to be shorter such that when I put it on the torque wrench, the width of the torque wrench plus socket would fit in-between the main spar halves.

Also I got a set of ratchet wrenched from Harbor Freight for $21.00 bucks. These guys seem fine quality to me. Great buy. I extended the length of the wrench by strap taping an extension to the wrench. Sure made screwing on those hard to reach nuts easier. Once they were semi tight I switched over to the torque wrench with short socket.
