So looking at the access plate and such i have a question just to make sure I’m not going to eventually explode in the sky one day. I couldn’t find the answer by searching. Ok so, when installing the 407 reinforcement ring in the tank rib, you are suppose to countersink it and dimple the rib web for the platenuts that will receive the 8r8 screws. My question is this….
If the purpose is for the rivets to lay flat for a seal of the T-708 and just to hold the nut plates for the screws, would it be ok/acceptable to use NAS 1097 3-4.5’s here and lightly COUNTERSINK THE RIB WEB to receive the tiny head of the 1097?
I did a test run on the piece I cut out of the rib and there was a very very good amount of material left after I countersunk for the 1097 head.
Thoughts???
Thanks you,
