I hadnt considered the wings being the issue, the inner rib on my wings are
12.5mm from the edge, but I
would think that the distace from the spar bushing to the ring would be a
more appropriate place to measure
my port wing measures at 104mm rib to pin centre and the starboard wing at
111mm. Given the difference
you could be correct. The extra 7mm would have made quite a difference.

Thank you for your reply. I would be grateful of any pictures you have,
Thank You. My situation is the same as yours!!! On the port side I would
need to reduce the W26 by about 5mm and on the Starboard side need to be
reduced by about 3mm to get the wing pins to fit as they should. At the
moment Im waiting a reply from Roger at the factory who is getting in touch
with Andy Draper. I have considered your option.
Another suggestion from where the fault is, that the root rib has been built
too far inboard or not gigged correctly when they have been manufactured. A
clue is that your kit number is 554 and my kit number is 557 for the wings.
I would like to know if kit no. 556 had the same problem!!!!
