Does anyone have a part number for the tie down eyelets?
Here’s my best guess:
AN46 Eye Bolts (3/8-24 Thread | 3/8 Shank) | Aircraft Spruce Australia
Please check the part number against the plans as I don’t know what the length is …

I am at that point of wrapping up my left wing - I’ll be back at the hangar tomorrow so can check the plans then if you don’t have it already.
AN46-7A eye bolt according to my plans.
Thanks! I couldn’t find that on my plans pages. Must have missed it.
Dug out my plans and see that is gives the part number as AN46-7A (Drawing SNX-W07)
Eye Bolt AN46-7A | Aircraft Spruce ®
Gotta say that Spruce is kinda proud of them things!
Wicks shows the AN46-7 (drilled shank) much cheaper:
Eyebolt AN46: 3/8" Shank, 3/8" Hole, 3/8-24 Threads
Skybolt is between those prices:

Oops … Bryan beat me to it!
Wow! I’d definitely get the one with the lightening hole.
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Wicks is a lot cheaper! All I know about the “-a” is that means “ain’t go no hole!”
