Abstract
There is provided a support pin assembly for full size determinant assembly of an aircraft structure. The support pin assembly includes a block having a vertical bore and a horizontal bore; a bushing within the horizontal bore; a barrel nut having a cylindrical body within the vertical bore and a barrel nut hole; and a pin. The pin includes an insertion portion within the bushing, an interface element, and an extending portion having at least one protruding circumferential portion having two or more flat surface portions on opposing sides to enable rotation of the pin. The at least one protruding circumferential portion is positioned within a hole in a frame section of the aircraft structure, and provides nominal adjustment of the pin, so that with any binding condition of the pin, the pin is released by rotating the pin via the two or more flat surface portions.
