Bolts, screws, nutplates, etc.

Post by cnpeters »

I am placing an order with Aircraft Spruce, and was wondering if I should order an assortment of AN bolts, screws, nutplates, and so on, to have handy. I know the kits come with the standard hardware to complete, but there are always modifications to be done, too. Thoughts on handy hardware items, fiberglass and resin, etc. to keep in stock?
Thanks,
Carl

Hey Carl!!

I haven't needed to order any additional hardware that doesn't come with the kits, other than some additional pop rivets. You'll have to buy the fiberglass stuff, but it won't be needed for a while.

If you're looking for an excuse to spend money, get that pneu squeezer!! See ya tonight! :P

Ditto,

If you want to have stuff on hand to work on your car, then go ahead and order.

Later on in the build you will prolly need something. Wait until then.
