Drilling?
I never understand instructions like these in the plans. It is embarrassing to be building my second RV and still not fully understand this!
In the plan it says to drill "D". This is slightly less than .25", the size of an AN4 that will go in there.
Is the idea:
a) You drill "D" then hit the bolt with a mallet? Ouch!
b) You drill "D" then ream to .25"? Normally VANS call for a reamed hole if thats what they want.
Why not just say drill to .25"?
Perhaps someone will help me if I ask on Vansairforce.
