You will wish you had installed the nutplates after the first time you need to remove the lenses to clean the inside due to dust.

How many other people use more than 2 places to hold the lens in place? I noticed that Ray put in 6 screws to hold the lens in place. I sort of like that idea, but was wondering what others think.

Two screws for me. It is not structural.

If after I go flying and it looks like it wants to come off I will add more screws.
