Hey All,

This is my first rodeo with ordering the "correct" length AN bolts. I want to do it right the first time and could use some A&P type help. I have a couple of scenarios listed below for my lower wings. If I can get help with these I should be able to be more self sufficient in the future. Listed below are the bolt sizes and grips.

Yes, I have looked at 43.13 and any online resources I could find. Some are contradictory. Any other rules of thumb I should know? I assume the correct length has an allowance for the height of a standard height AN365 nut.

All the grips have two .063 washers already added to them. I am looking for the correct -XX dash numbers to order.

1) AN4 2.6885 grip

2) AN4 2.426 grip

3) AN4 2.376 grip

4) AN3 2.376 grip

5) AN3 1.126 grip

6)AN3 2.501 grip

Thanks for the help :confused:
