Page 13-05, Step 3, Figure 2 Nutplates

Would someone please tell me the screw part number for the K1000-3 FUEL TANK ATTACH NUTPLATES? I have not been able to discover where in the plans they're finally used.

Thanks.

The inboard fuel tank attach “zee” has the bolts on the forward side and the nutplates on the spar. (Backwards to all the others).

Ref 18-09, Figure 1.

FYI - nutplates are tricky! They are part numbered as K-1000 but -3 and -03 are different! Without the zero they are for bolts. So a K1000-3 is for a an3 bolt, but a k1000-06 is for a -6 screw.

Or, as they are properly called, "platenuts"

Thanks so much, for the figure reference as well as the education regarding screws versus bolts. Just what I needed!

They are best ordered using your cellphone, while sitting on the hood of your car eating a TOMAYTO sandwich?
