A question

Part No HW-00011 Magnetic Balls 20 off

I have been inventorying the Finish & FWF kits that have just arrived and I cannot find what these magnetic balls are used for.

Would like to know so I can put them in the appropriate bin location that I use for building.

regards
Rob
 
Hey Rob,

I believe they are used for finding blind holes during the wheel pant construction.

Section 5-18

I knew I have been building this along time and as such I do not have a section 5-15 in my build manual
Getting back onto it no retirement looms.
Can you please scan & enlighten me

RV8 very very slow build.
 
They can be used when finding blind holes on a spinner. Balls are taped on back of spinner plate then a 2nd ball is put on top of spinner with a plastic washer between. The plastic washer is taped in place and then the outer ball is removed. This marks the location of the hole below in the spinner plate. Same can be done for wheel pants. It is amazingly accurate as long as there is not any ferrous material around.
