Has anybody used nutrings to mount fuel senders?

I'm following the "BuildingThe10" YouTube channel (great channel BTW!). He used nutrings to attach his CiES fuel senders. Seems like a great idea that allows easy removal of the senders. Does anybody here have experience with these nutrings?

I used "dome nuts", which are a nutplate with a metal dome and O-ring seal on my RV4. Similar theory, but can be adapted to any variety of hole locations. Dome nuts are used on every tank plate and pressurized area of airliners, and use same rivet spacing as standard nut plates.
 
I'm interested in them, seems like it's a good solution from just the picture. I don't have my wings yet, so haven't tried.
 
I watched the same video and just about to start my tanks. I will definitely be ordering them for my build. My understanding is the are the same screw pattern as the senders, however, the holes have to be slightly enlarged.
