Correction-
NAS 6205-42 bolts are only $12.25
each, but are not available in the required drilled shank from Genuine
Aircraft Hardware.
It was, however, easy to drill
them myself. With the bolt and castle nut installed and using the castle
nut a guide, I carefully drilled the required hole using a 1/32 drill
bit and it turned out perfectly.

Scott-
While close tolerance bolts
are not really justified for most applications, they are for the
landing gear. It's nice to slip one in place and feel the difference!
There's almost no free-play in my
ailerons and elevator, but I intend to try them in the
flap system.
The current spec is NAS 6203 thru 6220,
where the last two digits represent the bolt diameter in 1/16 th's. I purchased
mine from Genuine Aircraft Hardware about five years ago and don't believe
I spent more than $100. to replace the bolts listed below; however, I just
checked current prices and they're about double what I recall, so
carefully determine your required length before ordering (the NAS 6205-42 for
the lower gear leg's are currently $ 22.27 each). The larger diameter ones are
available individually, but smaller ones are only available in
packages of 5, 10 or 25.
