AN4-6A Bolts for the Gear Strut Fitting
Working on my Cruzer's Gear Strut Fitting and went to check that the bolts and rivets all fit before pulling them off to paint. My hardware kit did not come with any AN4-6A bolts. They're not on the packing list.
Are the plans incorrect and some other bolt is called for here or are they just missing from the hardware list?

Expérience building 701, is some bolts even as specified may not be long enough to meet thread exposure. Use the 40 pages of standards; bolt section , to confirm the length of bolt, and be prepared to order longer bolts if necessary. Also, check updates in case specified bolt has been changed. We have upsized to AN 5 on front bolts of fork to post bolts on Club Cruzer, and on my 701 to accommodate tow bar hitch (just had longer AN 5 bolts to do the job on hand).
