Can any of you RV builders tell me how I can tighten this nut and bolt?
 No wrenches or sockets I have fit. This is built according to the
 plans and with the AN nut and bolt called out in the plans.

 I sure hope Van gave a little more thought to assembly when
 he designed the later airplanes.

Hi Paul, it looks like the bolt head is so close to the tube that it will
not turn.  Is there any rotation available at the bolt end?  On the nut
side it does not look like enough swing room for 1/6 of a turn for an open
end wrench.  A possibility; there are small open end box combination wrench
sets.  You could thin the box side on a grinder to where it will just clear
the tube for the 1/12 of a turn you need and then you can reposition for
another bite.

The bolt head is far enough away from the tube so the bolt head
can just rotate. No room for a socket however.

I am going to replace the AN bolt with an MS bolt and a 12 point
NAS nut.
