Flap bearing block

Post by jlfernan »

Sometimes I wish I had ONE day without aggravating myself. I'm building a 9A QB. Directions say to drill a #10 hole thru the lower part of the bearing block and to drill the upper one in assembly. Well here I go, fat, dumb, and happy. I grab my drill and proceed to dill the upper hole and just as I went thru the metal, I realized I used the same #10 bit instead of the more appropriate #12, AAAARRRRGGGGHHH. Now there is a little play around the bolt. I snugged up both bolts and it feels solid. Any worries?

I would build on but if it really bothers you, you could use an AN4 in that location. Other than that I can't see much else to do anyway.
