| Subject: | baggage floor platenuts?? |
Anybody see any problem with riveting the platenuts to just the floor
ribs & just the bulkhead, instead of riveting through the floor &
rib/bulkhead into the platenut? The screws will still hold the edges of
the outer floor panels when the center floor panel & the back wall are
screwed in.
To me it looks like a minimal loss in strength (if any) & a lot less
trouble if the floor ever needs to come up.
Thanks,
Charlie

Don't you still have all the pop rivets holding the floor down?

Yes, but drilling out pops & 'repopping' isn't anywhere near as time
consuming is drilling out 2 rivets for each nut plate & then resqueezing
2 rivets for each nut plate if the floors come out.
