Given how long the cowling is, floating nutplates can allow a wide range of positions for the cowl. I had many problems with the cowl rubbing on the engine (mine is quited tightly cowled) until I replaced all the floating nutplates with fixed. The rubbing has never resurfaced. I am now on a mission to replace all floating nutplates on my 360 with fixed. Regards, Clark Baker N250JF LNC2 360 650hrs tt
