    I haven't seen those, most of the anchor nuts I've seen on the Boeing and Airbus aircraft I've worked are quite narrow and use ms20426 3/32 AD 100 degree rivets or EC2216 adhesive to bond them on, depending on the structure they're attached to. What are the wide foot a/nuts like? And don't mention those rotten alloy ratching receptacles Airbus use that corrode and split in two after an hour in service! And when you're putting a panel on you find the very last one pops off!

    Sat in a real one, may never wash again!

    I have not got the rivets to hand, but hears an anchor nut, floating type.
    They were good of the worlds largest hovercraft, heaviest flying boat, fastest accelerating interceptor plane, woulds fastest cars, and the only satellite rockets.
    All made on the Isle of Wight!

    I know the ones, they work well. I bought some metric ones the same to use in my Stratos.
