It is.  Just, REALLY expensive screws.  The good part is they only take a 
1/4 turn to put in, and, unlike the nutplate, they don't wear out over time.

The bad part is, did I mention they're really expensive?  Like $25 each.

I don't recommend it, but thought I'd pass it along.  It might spark a much 
better idea from someone else.  I saw someone using it to hold on the back 
end of a Long EZ baggage pod, but it made more sense there.  You have to 
get it on and off more often than the cowls, and there are only three of 
the things.
