Shows you what a country goober I am. I just took the tee nuts and gave the endsa slight crimp in the vise to make them semi-self-locking. A dab of Locktite(not the permanent stuff) might also do.Oscar ZunigaAir Camper NX41CCSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________

Jack:No, I am drilling through the spar, it comes out where I say. I am, however, putting in the screws through the leading edge, I can see the need for it and the spacer block below the leading edge. I will probably use a T-nut as described. I am not sure a wooden dowel will add anything after drilling it back out as opposed to a bushing. Then again, I might just use a nut!
