In chapter 10, you drill holes for the bracket holding the flap actuator. It has a measurement of 18.25" from the center of the aft ctr spar. If I drill holes as suggested, one of the holes will penetrate the back side of the fuselage-stub wing closeout rib. Can I simply move the holes a little inboard to avoid this or do I need to go ahead and drill the hole into the closeout rib and dremel an access to where the nut will fit?

thanks .. jim


[I was faced with the same situation and chose to dremel the clearance hole
for the nut into the closeout rib.  Seems to have worked well.  FWIW.
