Chris,
Thanks for the correction. That’s what I get for writing from a defective memory…

Minor correction. I just made two jack cups for the IV-P and the thread is 7/16. As the 7/16 thread is kinda an orphan, I thought noting it may save somebody some grief. The pitch
is 20.
George,
If the IV/IV-P was built according to the plans, the two fuselage jack points should be immediately forward of the main wing spar box and about 20” either side
of the fore/aft centerline, on the bottom of the fuselage. The jacking “cups” thread into vertical steel tubes that are bolted to the front of the spar box. These should be visible under the front edge of the pilot/copilot seats. If you’re looking from under
the airplane, they should appear as two round 3/8” holes, and a 3/8” fine thread bolt should screw into them. The jacking cups themselves consist of steel “cups” that will fit over the top of a jack head (about 1” in diameter) with a threaded 3/8” shaft welded
to the back side…this part screws into the fuselage.
Hope this helps.
