When checking some nutplates I have found a few that appear to be cross threaded when the screws are inserted.
The screw does reach the "crimped" end. Although I could replace them it would be difficult. I have thought about trying to tap them out and start over or drill out the thread and try to attatch a captive nut on the end of the nutplate.
The nutplates are not in areas of high stress.
Any other ideas or experiences greatly received.
