Loose wheel pants brackets

[N941WR]

During my condition inspection I found both wheel pants brackets where loose. This allowed my wheel pants to move around.

During pre-flights, I thought the holes holding the wheel pants where getting enlarged and would need some fiberglass work. This was not the case.

After removing the wheels to repack the bearings, they were very easy to tighten. My only concern is if they will they work loose again.

Has anyone else run into this?

Bill, I noticed this same phenomenon on my RV-10. I finally ended up using Heat nuts instead of the the fiber nuts, and I double-nutted them. That seemed to fix the problem.
I just checked mine this past week end on the 7A and they were not loose (just over 53 hours).
