I've ignored airframe details in preparation for paint and now I'm in a bind. Van's tabbed cowl hinge pins will not arrive in time for me to install nutplates in time for paint next week.

Can someone who has these:

please pass on the dimension from pin centerline to center of hole in tab?

TIA!
Chris

Sorry no one has replied to your request yet. I just saw your post. Here is a pic of the tab. It looks like the measurement is 3/4”.

Thanks, Steve! I still have 2 days until paint so you were right on time!

Steve's pic makes it look more like 13/16".
Great place to use a floating nutplate (All-Metal Floating Anchor Nut).
