*The two larger 1/4 inch holes that need to be match drilled should be pre-drilled with a smaller diameter drill bit first using the 1/4 to 1/8 inch bushing which comes with the RV-10 kit. | *The two larger 1/4 inch holes that need to be match drilled should be pre-drilled with a smaller diameter drill bit first using the 1/4 to 1/8 inch bushing which comes with the RV-10 kit. | ||
*The big round hole of the angle bracket that needs to be match-drilled into the top skin has the size of a 1.5 inch conduit (actual hole size: 1.951 inches). Very easy to do with a hydraulic punch, e.g. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RT8RKQL at Amazon]. Suitable should also be a bare punch set that uses a bolt instead of hydraulics, e.g. [https://www.amazon.com/AMZCNC-Conduit-Knockout-Punch-Manual/dp/B0B5K9L2CW/ref=sr_1_6 at Amazon]. | *The big round hole of the angle bracket that needs to be match-drilled into the top skin has the size of a 1.5 inch conduit (actual hole size: 1.951 inches).

* The manual says to avoid interference with the longitudinal stringers however, the brackets don't fit between them. The photos also show overlap. One needs to grind away a bit to allow space for the stringer. | |||
* The edge distance for the holes in the area of the lighting hole of the bulkhead is violated if used as shipped in the kit. One needs to move the bolts lower and more towards the outside of the lighting hole. | |||
* The bracket interferes with a rivet in the bulkhead, one needs to make an indent. | |||
