I was talking with another builder about his fuel leak issues around the tank access plate screws. He said if he had used ?captive? nutplates rather than the traditional nutplates, he would have been saved himself a lot of heartache.
He described a captive nutplate as one that encapsulates the screw. I can visualize what he is talking about and it seems like a good, dirt simple idea but I have never heard of them. It?s too late for me but I was wondering if anyone has gone this route and how did it work out
