Doesn't that ruin the self-locking feature of the nut? It is my understanding
that both plain and floating all metal nutplates ae made by the same process as

I will tell you only once more. Run a tap through the anchor nut before you
use it, and you will never have this problem. It is a simple solution to this
problem.

The steel that they are made of, is so tough, that it cuts up the screws,
