Good point, Lloyd. That was what drove me to use the nutplates.

Just something to think about with the wood nuts (teenuts) like you're
referring to. There is no locking feature built into them, so some
alternative method of bolt saftying should be considered.

Thanks Jack!
Mine is a short fuselage, and it is different back there (although I did
not know it). Imagine your nutplate 3-4" further forward so that it is
behind the gussets. I guess there is room for me to glue/screw that
type of nutplate in. Like I said, if I had the access you do, I would
have used the wood nut type that pushes into the hole. I still may do
that and drill the hole oversized from the top, push the nut in the
bottom, and put a bushing in the rest of the way.
