Default Guide to Platenuts?
Does anyone know where there is a pictorial guide to platenuts? Some of mine have gotten mixed up, or came mixed up in a bag, and I want to make sure I am using the right ones. I can figure out from thread size which ones fit which screws, but the other shapes and sizes are befuddling. Van's has guides for blind rivets and rod end bearings, but nothing for platenuts.

Thanks. The GAHco page is helpful but I couldn't find the Aircraft Spruce page on line. Also, I don't see anything about some of the platenut numbers that come with Van's kits such as K1000-08?

Never mind, I think I found the AS page and it does show some of the K numbered platenuts. I think I'm squared away.

Yep, but they are missing the K1100 series. Same as K1000 but dimpled in the screw hole.

Default Hardware guide
AC 43.13-1B chapter 7 is a good place to start.
