REFLECTOR: Hardpoints for fasteners

[Laurence Coen]

Brass and aluminum are hardier and also non magnetic as is stainless steel. 
The only reason to use nylon is if you need non-conductive.

  Nylon can wear out (stripped threads).  I think metal would be better. 
You could still use a nylon bolt.

    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.

    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?
