Does anyone know the specs for what type of Tinnerman nuts are used on the belly pieces of the J? I believe I have a couple missing that I would like to replace on my upcoming annual but don't want to have to remove belly panels prior just to get the specs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

I bought a bag of every screw, nut and washer on all panels (in stainless), and replace them as needed. Stripped heads, worn threads, hard to turn, worn clips that move around, etc. It cost very little at Spruce; can't say that about their plane-specific sets.

There are several different types of fasteners used on the belly panels. Number 8 PK type screws installed with Tinnerman nuts, as well as 10-32 screws installed with a variety of nuts either riveted on anchor nuts or clipped on nut similar to the Tinnerman nut. Over the years I have seen many other varieties used by well meaning people.

Thanks Dale. I'm not seeing this part number available from Aircraft Spruce. Where did you get yours?

Aircraft Spruce has P/N A1786-8z -1d that is close to the same but has a slightly longer reach and should work or East Coast has the 1274-8.
