Default RE: Firewall and blind nuts...


ORIGINAL: jaka

Hi!
I have used blind nuts for my models and never had a problem with any of them comming loose. Ca glued of course...easiest way to be certain they stay put!
Never ever use an ordinary bolt and nut to secure a motormount...Its so hard to reach inside the fuselage to hold that nut when fueltank is mounted..and you don't want to remove the tank just because a bolt has come loose ...do you?!

Regards!

I did CA the blind nuts...just I crashed so the blind nuts ripped off of the firewall.

For my 8-32 bolts, I was gonna CA the nut in a large hole behind the firewall and screw the bolt through the front then use blue loc-tite 242 to hold it in place...
