MS20001P6 is what you get from Rand and what was on my last KR, although if you scale one of the drawings in the manual it works out to P4. You should be fine with P5, but P4 is thinner aluminum.
Should be screws. My last KR came with pan head screws. The screws on each side of the hinge were staggered by about a half inch so the heads wouldn't hit each other and the hinges had a hole on the side opposite the other head so it would recess into the hinge when closed. When I replaced the hinges I used countersunk screws. Both methods worked fine. Be sure to use aircraft 100 degree screws, not regular 82 degree countersunk screws that don't have enough surface area. I removed regular hardware type T nuts and replaced them with nut plates floxed directly to the back side of the wood. The T nuts are more than strong enough and you can get them in stainless from Ace Hardware which should be fine. The reason I used nutplates is because I wanted them to be self locking. I used the F5000-08 all metal nut plates and they are a little too self locking. It is hard to get a screw in or out without stripping the head. I put them in my vise and un-ovaled them a little so they were not so tight. I would use nylon locking nut plates next time.

Wiesner Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 5:45 PM To: KRnet Subject: KR> Aileron Hardware The instructions and drawings on the ailerons are a little unclear and I'd like to check my assumptions. 1. The hinge is p/n MS200001-P5? 2. The text calls for "8/32" pan head ?bolts?" (I assume he meant screws) but the drawing shows countersunk screws which seems more logical for clearance purposes. I plan to use MS24694 screws. 3. The text calls for the nutplates to be floxed directly to the spars, NO backup plates. Has anybody used nutplate channel strips or other methods to provide for backup plates? Also, the drawing on page 88 shows elastic stop nuts. Allen G.
