Liking your videos while my SS7 is still on order. Just so you know, nut plates are supposed to be self-locking...by running the tap through them, you've defeated the self-locking "feature". If you look closely at them, the are oblong or oval, not perfectly round. Keep on building.
I thought they might be but the first one I ran in completely removed the threads from the soft screws so I chose to make them work . They are still firm to screw into but the screws will hold up for a while now I hope. Thanks for the info
Do not run a tap through anchor nuts. They are tight because this is a safety feature to lock in the screw so vibration won't loosen them. When screws and bolts loosen and fall out they can cause jamming or limit the movement of the controls. Like the videos . Looking for further updates.
I agree, don't run a tap thru. They are tight because the thread is slightly oval shaped; you can see it if you look at the rear boss. Use pliers or vice grips and carefully squeeze the boss to remove some of the oval shape, a little at a time, until the screw goes in but still has some tightness to resist vibration loosening.
I used a 3/8 drill bit, after marking the spot to cut out, to mark the boundary ends then a dremel with a plastic cut off type wheel to cut the straight part then sanded till happy.

That’s what loctite is for 😊
You are making some amazing progress. Just one step at a time. What tool did you use to cut the seat belt holes in the fiberglass?
I'm impressed with how neat those holes are too!
