Default Grob Astir AD spar spigots

JJ,

Thanks a lot for this information.

It was a factory supplied jig that was used for the replacement ?

The work must be done in a FAA certifid glider repair station, like
John Murry's or Gehrlein in your neck of the woods. it involves about
20 hours of work + the cost of the kit from Grob. It involves
assembling the ship with wax donuts on the old spigots to determine
the excess lateral slop that must be removed when the new spigots are
installed, then grind and remove the old, then fit the new with
factory jig, scarf spar but and lay up 8 layers of 92125 for the
replacement spar wrap. I would estimat $1800 to $2400 bucks.
