Anyone know of a source for countersunk 1-leg platenuts for #8 screws?
I checked spruce and Van's but didn't find them (or at least couldn't find the number).
Because I'm using platenuts for my baggage compartment, I need to use use them not just on the baggage ribs, but also on all the holes that connect the floors to the baggage bulkhead. However, rather than having 8-10 additional screws showing at the bottom of the baggage bulkhead cover, I was thinking that I could use flush screws to hold the baggage floor to the bulkhead (thus allowing the bulkhead cover to sit flat over those screws) and then I could just screw the cover on with the regular (but far fewer in number) round top screws. To do this I think I will need to use 2-4 one-leg countersunk/dimpled platenuts in some locations.
Any suggestions for a source, or what part number they would be? Alternatively, any suggestions on how to attach the floor to the bulkhead more elegantly? Thanks.
