Starting work on a new commitment this week. I realize I will miss my commitment for the week, but I have to start somewhere. I planned to start several weeks ago, but things kept getting in the way. Maybe a firm commitment will help and I will meet my goal next week. Put away firewall forward parts so I could have room to work on the bench and still be able to find them later. Reviewed options for static parts. About to just give up and leave it the way Van's designed it even though two tech counselors I respect told me to replace them. Finally time to grind down some sockets to see if I could get my torque wrench to fit in the center of the center section. Grinding was working, but not enough. I need to use the torque extenders, but can't use a normal 1/4 to 3/8 inch adapter. First made some shims to use as an adapter. That could work, but would be a pain to use. I was going to epoxy some parts together when it finally dawned on me that I could make a short adapter out of a socket. Made one and it looks like it will work. Measured torque extender and torque wrench handle length. Created a spreadsheet to show torque wrench settings when used with a 2 inch extender and with friction torque added for -3 and -4 AN365 locknuts.
