Ok, I'll try to be as brief as possible:

Bought a replacement fuse for alpha 60 since they are now discontinued and mine's been repaired a few times and is a "little" warped to say the least. Thought I'd use it to teach new people down the road.

The bracket for the nose gear was already installed, so I just tested to see if the screws were tightened: 2 of the blind nuts had pushed through so the screws would not tighten all the way and wouldn't back out. So, I go to take the other two screws out and believe or not, both literally broke at the head trying to loosen them (I'm not that strong a guy). I couldn't get a grip on the blind nuts through the fuel tank compartment with pliers so I had to basically cut the screws off where the two blind nuts were loose. But the other two (the screws that broke trying to loosen) are flush with the firewall and the blind nuts are tight. So I've basically got two holes with no blind nuts and two holes with blind nuts and broken off screws flush with the front of the firewall and flush with the back of the firewall.

So, am I screwed trying to use these holes (no pun intended)? Do I call Horizon and see what they suggest? Or do some of you guys with a lot of experience have a quick fix for this? I could probably reinstall the two blind nuts in the holes where they were loose IF I can get the broken screws out of the two other blind nuts.

Thanks
