That's an easy one, Mark.The holes are drilled 1/8" off center because that's what the plans show.I thought you would have known that by now.Actually, I assume that the eccentricity would be called for to provide a bit ofclearance. Those lugs get ground flat on one side, as required, for alignment.At assembly, the gear is held together with 5/16" bolts. If the holes weredrilled on center, it would probably be a bit snug to get a wrench over the bolt/nut.Bill C.Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________

I've never used MMO in aircraft fuel but have used it in automobile fuel. In an auto, I just poured the MMO into the tank and then added 10 gallons of fuel. A fried of mine (an aircraft mechanic) says he puts MMO in the fuel of every reciprocating engine he uses at a rate of one small can of MMO to 10 gallons of gasoline. C ----- Original Message -----

Thanks guys... I also got a phone call from one of our experienced builders/fliersthat explained it the same way. What I didn't realize, or must have overlookedis that the outer two are turned 180* to the inner lug... makes perfectsense now. Jack... your work is superb. Your photos are always very clear and the fitmentand welding is as nice as I've ever seen.--------Mark ChouinardWings, Center Section and Empannage framed up - Working on FuselageRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
