All the things that they don't mention in the small print (ain't experience
a wonderful thing to have).
From forum research, I learned that K1000-3 nut plates are self-locking.
So the AN3 bolt goes easily about 2 turns and then stops. If you do another turn and then extract the bolt, the first thread or two look worn, almost cross-thread.
#1
I assume that all the driven threads (exposed) beyond the taper on the K1000-3 would look worn once the bolt is fully driven. Is that correct and normal?
#2
Can the AN3 bolts be inserted and removed a few times with no damage?
#3
I may have cross-threaded a few threads of one nutplate inserting and extracting the bolts. Can I use a 10-32 tap to try to dress the "starting" threads.
#4
Anybody remember what "drag value" you used in addition to the 20-25 "/lbs of torque for an AN3 bolt.
Thanks,
Joe
