RV-14 install questions
When I ordered my JD Air latch for my QB RV-14, I was told to drill out the bottom bracket, enlarge the holes to fit the latch, and re-install bottom bracket.
If I'm reading correctly, the drawings on JD Air website are not for an RV-14 and the brackets are different. (ex. drawing shows bracket to be 8 1/2" long and mine is 9 3/8", the pre-drilled holes on the QB that accept the AN3-12A bolts are located 9/16" and 4 5/16" from the leading edge of the bracket vs the 7/8" and 4 5/8" shown on the drawing.)
This is all well and good, but I'm wondering if people are attempting to use the installed top bracket or just drilling them both off and making new brackets entirely? If I spot and drill the new holes in the existing brackets it will have little metal left between the old unused holes and the new ones. Will this be too weak??
Just wondering what people have had success with out there? The latch is definitely high quality and will be a great upgrade once installed, just need some updated instructions for the RV-14 QB specifically or what people have had success with out there.
Thanks in advance
