Default Duckworks Nutplate Question

I'm installing the nutplates for the Duckworks leading edge lights in my RV-7A. Another VAF member was kind enough to send me the template with hole locations. Can someone tell me what size nutplates are riveted to the ribs?

Default Duckworks Nutplates

Are for #6 screws, non countersunk (K1000 style). Six total per light.

The nutplates that attach to the ribs are for 10-32 screws (K1000-3 nutplates). The nutplates that go on the doubler that is attached to the plexi and connects the plexi to the skin are 6-32.


I'm referring to the three nutplates towards the LE in this picture:
