Hi all,
I've hit my first major stumbling block by being very confused about nut plate nomenclature. My kit inventory included K1000-3's, K1000-4's, K1000-06's and K1100-08's. I dutifully installed the smallest of these in the Vert Stab, believing them to be the K1000-3's, but they are clearly too small to accept the AN3-5 bolts.

I can't post attachments, but you can find a photo of the nutplates I have and some AN3 bolts?they clearly show that the bolt fits the middle sized nutplate, but that should be a K1000-4 according to the inventory, but a K1000-3 because it fits an AN3.
What is the smallest nutplate in the photo? I haven't found any references to anything smaller than a K1000-3. Is there such a thing as a K1000-2?
Any suggestions before I have to tear down the VS?
Many thanks in advance,
