RE: problem with blind nuts
Lee, I really like that. I had to install blind nuts in a Global PT-17. I have a long nose set of spring-loaded pliers that allow me to grab the blind nut from behind, push it part way into the hole and then carefully thread a screw into it to capture it. You could probably do the same with a set of long-nose pliers with a rubber band around the handle to hold the jaws closed on the nut. Good luck.
