 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 to me like either a 1/2" or 9/16" head nut, if so
you could use a "obstruction spanner", used to remove the starter on
inline six Chev. motors, its like a new moon shape you will probably
need to grind the side of the ring thinner (unless you buy a Snap-On
spanner). Thats giving away my age isn't it?

I wish I could find a local source for snap on. The snap on
truck used to show up at United LAX When Robin was working there
but out here in the boonies they are nowhere to be found.
Do they have a web site where you can mail order?
