Default RE: Seagull Laser 200 wing bolts

Did you loose them during a flight or just from transporting the plane? I always screw the bolts back in the wing when I'm done for the day. I flew my Laser again the past weekend and I'm really getting comfortable with the way it lands and nail it about every time. My bolts for the canopy seem to come loose about every flight and I've lost a couple bolts already. I guess the Laser 200 is not being sold any more, I don't see it advertised.
ORIGINAL: Mooney

Has anyone tried running a 1/4-20 tap into the blind nuts in the Seagull Laser 200 wings? 1/4-20 seems to be the closest thread to the threads on the bolts that come with the plane. They're actually 6MM but with a 1.25 pitch. 1.25 is the pitch for 8MM bolts. I've been tempted to try re-threading them. If you lose any bolts your out of luck because nothing else fits.
