Are you
sure these things won’t fret and pull through the fiberglass without some
kind of tinnerman washer under the stud nut?

Just got a quote from
Alcoa (the owners of Fairchild Fasteners). You don’t want to see
it.
We definitely need to do
a group purchase.
BTW: Regarding
cowling fasteners….why the 1820-2 stud nuts for the cowling?
The grip range on those seems to be between .251 and .343. If
guys are using the -2’s it would mean the cowling surfaces mated together
are ¼ thick or greater. Do they really get that thick after paint?
From my measurements of my cowl, the -1’s are in the right range.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
Kevin
