hi all,
i've mounted the rudder pedal torque tube assembly in my ss. it mounts with 8 screws and locknuts(in channels). but then i started thinking, what if in the future after the plane is covered, i need to remove that assembly for some reason. wouldn't you have to remove the covering under the front of the fuselage to get a 3/8 wrench on those nuts? so i was wondering if i should rivet nutplates in those channels in place of the locknuts; and would this be an acceptable substitute in the eyes of the faa?(i don't see why it wouldn't)
has anyone else given this any thought?
thanks, ken nougaret (zephyrhills,fl) about 2 months and 100 hrs into build
