(Charlie England) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 11:47:34 AM PST US From: Charlie England Subject: RV7-List: 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 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:44:33 PM PST US From: "Don Hall" Subject: RE: RV7-List: baggage floor platenuts??

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.
