REFLECTOR: Hardpoints for fasteners

[Phil Hooper]

Thanks everyone for your responses!  

 

I like your idea Jorge, rather than putting a wood screw into just flox,
although it should work.  Flox plus nylon nuts sounds good.  Just make sure
the nylon nut is set in and packed well, so it won’t turn and that you let
it cure with screw in place (with Vaseline on the threads).  I suppose you
can glass over afterwards and then drill it out.   This should work for
light items.

 

Comments from the Collective?

I am not there yet but now that the topic comes uo
  I have found nylon
screws and nuts available on the net (vibration resistant/non-magnetic).  I
am thinking about embedding nylon nuts, per the method below, to attach
nylon clamps inside the cabin for wiring and support of other light items.
I have also found nylon ties with a hole for a screw that could be attached
with the above setup, although I like the first method better.  Anything
that should concern me about this setup?  

Regards

Jorge

I drill out the inside skin/foam with about ½” dia, then I set a stud (bolt)
in there with flox  could also set a nut in there I suppose- I did that to
attach my throttle quad to the fuse side- used T-nuts for best grip.

Dumb question, and the answer is probably in the manual.  For cable fastener
location for the inside of the fuselage, the factory says to always use a
hard point.  I guess this means even for one screw, ala the photo below.
What’s the most effective way to go about this?
