I'm going to have all my seat floors removable as a lot do. Been reading up in the archives, and I think I've got things down. Just a lot of #8 screws. I was also thinking that the baggage area sides would be removable also, just making the rivet holes in the F-722 / F-724 bulkheads into platenuts also. I just wanted to double check a few things:
* Would the pop rivets that also go through the seat hinges into the ribs also be replaced with screws? So that'd be a normal countersunk flush-riveted nutplate on the floor, then the hinge attached with a screw there.
* What about the rivets that attach the rear seat floor and the baggage floor to the seatback bulkhead and baggage ribs? Are those replaced by one of those one-wing platenuts, riveted to the baggage rib?
* Am I missing any other rivet hole to platenut conversions I need to do now while assembling the center / forward fuselage?
Thanks for the double-check.
