Filler neck install/dimpled anchor nuts

[Jesse Jenks]

Ben,
I agree, making yourself happy is a big part of this whole thing.

Yes, there are anchor nuts with 3/32 dimpled rivet holes. I have been using
anchor nuts a lot, and bought some with dimpled rivet holes for attaching
the tail tips. They cost me about $1.00 each from a local supplier. When I
started on the wings I got a bunch of un-dimpled ones from ACS for less than
$.25 each. I dimpled some of them myself for the inspection covers which
works OK. For the wing root/fuselage fairings I installed un-dimpled ones in
the root rib by countersinking the root rib (the skin will go on over the
anchor nut rivets). I have been using solid 3/32 CS rivets and a squeezer. I
got a cheap squeezer from ATS that works great.

Jesse,
FWIW, I installed mine on the inside. Me and others that stop by to look
at
my plane for the 5 years before it flies will admire the cleaner look. ;)

On another front... is there such a thing as anchor nuts with the 3/32
rivet
holes dimpled or CS?

10+ years, 500 hours of fuel fills and just starting to get a bit
loose....but only 'cause the rubber seals have shrunk...but still not
letting any water in.

I've done them both ways and I guess outside makes more sense from the
replacement point of view...look better inside as you say..but also

like

you
say only the guy with the fuel hose in his hand (YOU NEVER LET SOMEONE

DO

IT
FOR YOU) sees them!

Cheers,
Wayne

Ken,
I've not heard of B&B. Do you have a web address or phone # for them?

I've seen these nutplates on someones web site as well but can't recall
whose it was. Don't know why they are not more common. I mostly use
these nutplates with dimpled rivet holes.
