Re: Top Nuts broke free?

Are the captive nuts still in the top? Did the rivets just give up? Other than drilling a hole to fish around in there to find the captive nuts and get them back in place then re-rivet them, I don't know what to tell you. I ran a tap into all of those bolt holes before reinstalling just to make sure they were ok. I still have some issues with the hatch hinge bolt holes. I'm going to have to re-tap them a larger size I think. Good luck with yours.
