I bought my kit from another builder with a little bit of work done. The kit has been rolling around the country for the better part of 20 years. As a result, I have a few bits of non-vans hardware.
One bit of hardware I came upon are 25 self-sealing nutplates (NAS1473A3).
Has anyone used these on the tank? There are about $90 worth of nutplates here - it would be a waste not to use them. I would have to drill out the tank access panel to 10-32 rather than 8-32, but I made the cover and doubler a little oversize, so that is not an issue.
Can anyone give me a reason not to use these?
