    Default Allen bolts too loose?

    There are six allen bolt heads on the belly behind the nose gear. They seem to hold stuctures related to the rudders to the cabin floor. I noticed the allen bolts are all loose enough that you can turn them by hand with some effort. Looking behind the center pedestal panel, I see that the factory torque paint is still intact on the nuts on those bolts, ergo the whole nut/bolt assembly is turning. Think I should break the torque paint and snug them up, or just leave them alone?

    They need to be snugged up. The skin has settled in some over time. If you leave them loose they will start to wear out the holes.
