53C Wheel Pants

Post by VernH »

I looked in the IPC and it doesn't call out the rivnuts(?) for the screws to the back plates. Can somebody tell me what they are or a suitable replacement?

Thanks
Fly safe!

The originals were Tinnerman A9031-10Z or NAS395-28

Floating nutplates will work.

MS21059 or M5000
