Dynon says to use non magnetic fasteners which may have effect on the compass. I used stainless steel bolts
Yes, you can. The flange is a bit narrow, so you might bend it a bit, but not too bad and you can bend it back. I had originally installed the brackets without doing anything to them and then later realized how awkward it would be to install the ADAHRS in the back, fiddling with the unit, the screws and those metal lock nuts. Yesterday, I drilled it out and installed nutplates K1000-06 and put the brackets back in.
The only photo I have is from the original installation, not sure if that helps you.

The link to the full post is here (including a link to a larger image). Picture is on the bottom of the post.
I suppose the question to be asked is why not use brass nuts? Suppose the steel nuts is a mistake in the plans?
I just might go get some brass nuts and solve the question.
Is there a photo of the mounted ADAHRS on any ones web site
Can I add nutplates to the Brackets before riveting them to the tailcone.
Thanks
Joe,
Dynon sternly warns about keeping anything ferrous or magnetic outside of a 2 foot bubble.
Looking at the pictures.....did you install the stiffener kit upgrade for that area??? Some folks we're getting erratic action on there displays.
Is this question directed to me
My ?
Does anyone know a good source for non-ferrous nutplates

Here you go Joe, these are silver plated A286 cres. There is a lot of 100 listed on eBay now listing # 271978013946 but they are 10-32. The gent listing them said they would "not respond to a magnet at all". I could not find a MS35214 (plated brass) screw in 10-32 only 10-24 (-55) listed.
