Title: Spare bolts
Post by: hpras on March 28, 2011, 12:05:18 AM
Just got my engine buttoned up and have the dreaded spare bolts problem.  I have 2 hex 8mmx35mm kicking around.  Can't spot them in the manual or in the microfiche, so maybe they just got into my bolt collection???

I'd do two things.  A quick check to make sure that all of the bolts that hold the cases are present, and check for obvious missing stuff.

And then put them in your tool kit in the tailsection, and you will be assured that you'll never, ever need them. :)

they were probably shipping bolts anyway and not needed. :biggrin:
