Subject: REFLECTOR: Wing attach bolt hole?
I have recently completed my brake upgrade which involves improving the brake fade problem with Matco brakes. Rather than bore all the Cleveland equipped builders, I’ll just direct you to my build page. I apologize if it seems basic, but I have friends and family that are following my build so I try to keep it simple.

And finally, I have fastbuild wings with a small access hole in the top and bottom. It’s a real pain trying to get the nut on the bolt through that hole.
1) I have better access if I put the bolt in through the wing and the nut on the front (through the strake). Is this acceptable or does the bolt have to go in the front?
2) I’ve seen that some builders put a single large hole in the bottom of the wing that goes up to the top. This also eliminates the small access hole cover on the top of the wing. Is this an acceptable retrofit?
