Default NAS1073-a08

Where can I find NAS1073-a08 Fuel Tank Nut Plate? I have searched everywhere and can not find these nut plates. Wicks Aircraft was one place I was told sold them, but there website is down. Are they still in businness? Thanks

Hmmm...if you're looking for sealed floating nutplates, try NAS1473A08. I think NAS1073 is a spec for switch guards...

See the tech chart at:
http://www.gen-aircraft-hardware.com.../nutplates.pdf

Genuine Aircraft Hardware or Wick's should be able to get what you need.

My Wick's catalog (picked up at Osh) lists them at $2.80 each.

Good hunting,
Mike
