I don't know of any mod to build a secondary shear plate for the rear spar mount. It would be an alteration to primary structure, so you would have to pass that across Francis' desk at the LAA.

I use a drilled bolt with a castle nut and safety pin. I only do them up firmly finger tight, and then stick the safety pin in. No spannering, so it only takes about a minute each side. A pip pin might be feasable, but I would be inclined to put a safety pin or some alternative positive locking in place anyway, as with wear, the small retaining surface area of the Pip Pin balls could still work their way out of a slightly ovalled hole.

Two Pulsars eh, and I thought I had it bad!
