Hi,
Is this tool sold by ACS?
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/speedriv.php
I was also considering using these plastic clipnuts:

It seems like platenuts are severe overkill for the floors and
baggage areas, not to mention a lot of work!

Esten,
Great idea. Wish I had known about Rivnuts before. I also made the baggage
floor removable, but I did it the hard way with platenuts. I like your idea
better - although I've never used Rivnuts.

Oh no, Rich!! That is the center bracket of the airplane that everything
attaches to and it holds the plane together.
Sounds like that plane is worthless - you better let me take it off your
hands and dispose of it.

Steve,
Van's is wrong. Most guys I've talked to are concerned about corrosion and
are willing to do what's necessary to reduce its impact.
I'm using Marhyde because:
1. It's readily available. I buy it at a local paint store, but it's
available via the internet.
2. It's easy to use. I scotchbrite the surface to be primed and clean it
with a DuPont cleaner (can't remember the product number but can get it for you
if you want it) before priming. I've sprayed surfaces after only cleaning - no
scotchbrite - but the primer doesn't stick as well.
3. No mixing required. You can buy it in gallons for spray guns or in rattle
cans for touchup or small jobs.
4. It's self etching so no prep work required.
5. My limited experience with it indicates it provides a fairly good
mechanical corrosion barrier. So far, I'm happy with it and I believe it will
assist
in avoiding long term corrosion.
