Unsanctioned by USAF? Yes. We only did that when the inspectors weren't looking. :o)
For others, running a tap through the metal self locking nut plates does not destroy their self locking qualities. They don't just bind as tight, so they don't destroy the threads on Stainless screws or bind the steel screws so tight that the heads strip. But they do still bind well enough to meet the specs for a self locking nut. -Jeff Scott ------------------ Subject: Re: KR> Aileron hinge bolts Thanks for the advice guys.
