So today I had to have the wing bolt 500 hr AD on my tiger completed , never thought about what holds the wings in place. Obviously the spars fit together but only 2 bolts hold them in place. I’d of thought they would be slightly larger .

Don't worry. My wing is secured to the fuselage with much more than that, but just two tiny 1/4" bolts hold my tail to the rest of the plane.

How many of these bolts are there in your wing anyway?

2 per wing
 
looks like you're getting screwed!
