I'm working on the tail cone and started to add the nut plates along the longeron and inspection plate cover. After I finished the left side I tried to mount the inspection plate and found the screws to be very loose. Upon inspection the nut plates look like they are for a number 8 screw not a number six.
I looked at the contents of the rest of the bag and all the nut plates listed on the inventory sheet as K1000-06 are really -08's. They even have a -08 stamped on them. The K1100-06 listed on the inventory sheet are -06's. It looks like my bag got the wrong parts. The inventory sheet says they are all supposed to be -06's, but clearly they are not.
Has anyone else run into this?
My kit was one of the early empennage kits, sent out the last week of October 2013 so newer kits might not have the problem.
