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.

Paul,

What size is the bolt? Somehow I was getting the extra keyboard features
symbols instead of /?. I think i have it now. Cheryl is at the distibution
center and can get you in touch with a franchizee. You can then phone them
to meet if you need to get special tool

It looks to me like an offset or angle wrench would work fine. Other
suppliers make them also. A crowsfoot socket would also work if torqueing is
required.

Not enough clearance for a box end wrench. Even Snap ON.
Perhaps a Snap On socket but I have not tried it yet.
I kind of doubt even a snap on socket would fit.

The answer is an NS 12 point bolt and nut.
