Drilled holes in main spar

Post by 4945 »

I bought a set of 120 wings to re-cover. The left side had leading edge landing and taxi lights. When I pulled the remaining cover off, I saw that the lights had been mounted to the main spar one bay inboard of the normal spot. These are the holes that are in the spar from the mounting bolts. I’ve asked the guy I bought the wings from to see if there’s any documentation for the light installation (he was a pass-through owner and is keeping the airplane they were mounted to).

Has anyone seen this before? Is there an STC or an approved 337 with a drawing for this arrangement? If not, can it be repaired?
