Order a few of every different configuration, miniature and full-size, #6 and #8. Some of them are a little expensive, so just get 10 or 15 of those kind. For the less expensive, you can get some more. You never know when you'll run into some little job that would be much easier with a smaller size nutplate, or a corner nutplate, or a one-ear, etc.... These kinds of things are much more common as you get into the fuselage and finishing kits. It'll cost you a little bit to do this, but it will pay for itself if saved frustration.

Tasker Subject: RV7-List: Nutplate Question --> RV7-List message posted by: "Richard E. Tasker" --> I need a #6 or #8 nutplate that is smaller than the standard size. Does anyone know what the rivet hole spacing is on the miniature nutplates (MS21069 type)?
