Low(er) cost nutplates

[arborite]

I went shopping for #6 nutplates today. the usual sources were pricey, especially for the countersunk ones. I found a much better price for the countersunk MS21047L06K at an unexpected place - Textron (think Beechcraft and Cessna OEM parts). AC spruce and wicks wanted well north of $1.00 each. Textron price was $.49. and free shipping because i ordered a bunch of stuff.

other prices:
MS21069-06K mini countersunk - $.58
MS21055L06 corner -$.56


for those of you with a Textron account, check it out. you have to have an account to see prices and order. if you can get someone who orders a lot from them to buy, the discount may be bigger.

Another great source for nutplates and other hardware is bandbaircraftsupplies.com. I think they have every type of nutplate made. I found non-magnetic nutplates for my wingtip that has the magnetometer installed.

Do you have a good URL for the Textron store?
