Something I've been wondering. If the rivets used to attach nut plates are only there to retain it when the covers are off, why are 2 required? I guess it could spin around with a single rivet, but even that seems like it would take some doing. Would that even be an issue if it did? The weight savings would be minuscule, especially because you're not removing skin material, so I'm just thinking about ease of construction and time saving here.
Also, what other methods have people used for attaching nut plates? I recall reading about some folks gluing them on with epoxy, but I don't know if I like that idea...
