Doedo Schipper made this threaded adaptor to make installing the landing gear bolts easier.
It started out as a plain American 7/16" nut. Tapped to 8 mm. Threaded on the bolt and machined down on the lathe to the bolt diameter. A slight taper and the shoulder bolt goes in much easier.
Great idea. Thanks Doedo!
