Default fuel tank problem

We have discovered a faulty nut plate on a fuel tank - the ones that hold in the S-W fuel quantity sender. Being fairly disorganized, I've managed to lose track of the plans that have the hardware callouts for that. Can anyone help with the official part number of those nutplates? And are there any suggestions on how to install fasteners when access to the inside of the tank is. . . well, inaccessible?

Nut plates. faulty nut plate? If you cannot get the screw to start, you may have inadvertently used the wrong size nut plate (#6 instead of #8) I did this on one of my fuel tank attach points, ( there it was a #8 instead of a #10) anyway, if thats the case, you may want to just step down to that size bolt instead of ripping into the tank.
