Wayne,

What do you mean by T-plate?
Would you explain how to?

Thanks,

Ihncheol Park

  Something I have done on all my planes is to make a t-plate and put the
blind nuts in this.  Thus making a sort of clamp.  Cant miss with this and
as the blind nuts are c/a'd to the plate they shouldn't come loose, at lease
I haven't had one come loose on me.  Then if you need to make thrust changes
you can drill out the holes larger in the firewall and will be able to move
the mount around some.
  Ken  your right on the blue Loctite and it actually will stay on the
nut/bolt and will sort of reseal again without having to reapply(just in
case your out of Loctite).

    FOR ALL OF US........what to do to prevent this type problem: One glue
the
    T-Nut to the firewall with CA, Chase the threads with a tap, then use
BLUE
    Loctite (NOT RED). I seldom use RED Loctite on any model airplane
    part....especially if I ever want to disassemble it.

    This won't help Jeff with the immediate problem but maybe it will help
    someone avoid the problem in the future.

    Cheers,
