Flange Bushings
Flange Bushings are used in through-bolt applications, allowing the use of a smaller diameter bolt to achieve weight reduction without any attendant reduction in the bearing surface of the fastener against the Spar wall.  In repair applications, they can be used with an original-sized bolt (and all original fittings) to repair an elongated or distorted hole in the Spar wall, simply by drilling the hole to a larger diameter. Essentially, Flange Bushings are used to replace larger bolts with smaller bolts, as, in most Spar applications, it is not the tensile strength of the bolt, but the increase in shear strength gained by the larger bearing surface that is important.
Standard size Flange Bushings are listed below, other sizes are available - please specify dimensions when inquiring.
Flange Bushings are often used with Compression Tubes, See Compression Tubes.
