Step 1:  Enlarge the tie-down holes (indicated in Figure 1) to allow a tie-down ring to be inserted through the W-1001-L Leading Edge Skin into the W-1020 Tie-Down. Tie-Down rings are not provided in kit, order BOLT EYE 3/8 T. D. from VAN'S CATALOG.

 

Step 2:   Remove any clecos holding the W-1012-R Outboard Wing Rib to the main spar assembly. Cleco the leading edge assembly to the main spar assembly.

 

Step 2A: Final-Drill #30 the holes common to the main spar assembly and the aft flange of the ribs in the leading edge assembly. Check that the tie-down holes is located in the proper position

 
Step 3:  Rivet the W-1009-R Leading Edge Rib to the main spar and outboard wing rib as shown in Figure 2.
 

Step 4:   Rivet the leading edge ribs to the main spar assembly per the rivet call-outs shown in Figure 2.

 

Step 5:   Rivet the W-1001-L Leading Edge Skin to the main spar assembly flange.

 

Stored the wing in  the cradle I built for my RV-7 Wings. Enlarged it and it works very nicely and is easy to roll around. It will also allow the tank to be put on and hold the both wings, controls and all after they are finished
