Don Reid wrote back in 2007 that the WAF bolts function better as a single
bolt in double shear top & bottom (2 total) than 2 on each fitting, forward
and aft, top & bottom (4 total). I know that KRs fly in both configurations.
My KR used 4 per side when I got it and (partially based upon Don's well
explained message) I have flown mine with 2 per side with a compression
spacer between the inner WAF sides. None have come apart at this location
that I am aware of anyway.

I'm not an engineer but the following from the web would indicate that the
3/8" bolts (4 / each main spar attach) are a great deal more than adequate
for our application...
