There is also identification diagrams in Section 5 of the construction manual.
If you print page 5-32 and 5-33 in 1:1 scale you will have an actual size diagram of all the nutplates and blind rivets

Thanks everyone..
It seems that Van's put the wrong platenuts in the bag (1922-1). There should have been 210 K1100-8's, but this is what I got: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pi1je576o3...12953.jpg?dl=0
I did inventory and sort all hardware into individual containers, just didn't notice that they were the wrong platenuts until now - hence why I was so confused.
Appreciate the help! I guess I don't get to rivet all of those this weekend... At least there's plenty of other work to do!

That expains it. Vans is really good about correcting packing errors.

While we are on the platenut topic, I've got another question..
In bag 1992-2, there were 6 platenuts, pictured here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hp0eiijswl...40960.jpg?dl=0
they are supposed to be K1000-4's for the center section attach bolts. They aren't countersunk, but the ears are different than all other K1000 series platenuts that I've seen. They are also different than other pictures I've seen online..
Any ideas?

There are a few different styles made by different manufacturers but the basic dimensions are the same.
If you print the document I posted the link to, you can lay it on top of the image and confirm.
It is also good practice to test the fastener to be used in a given location in the nutplate before installing it. People commonly have trouble differentiating 10-32 and 8-32 nutplates, and sometimes they get mixed up (even within the large packages delivered from the manufacturer).

Thank you all
Just ordered this $8 book from GAHco. Free shipping next week. If using a credit card, you need to call them first. Wish that I had known about this book a long time ago. Thanks, everyone.

This catalog is a MUST HAVE for builders. It has saved me many hours trying to figure out hardware. It is a great cross reference between AN (that Vans uses) and MS callouts (that suppliers use.)
The Aircraft Spruce website/paper catalog can help too.
