Thomas,

No idea what plane you are building, but Cozy Girl= s had some plates made from
aluminum and alodined. http://www.cozygirrr= l.com/aircraftparts.htm

With threading, generally depth should be 1.= 5 times the bolt diameter -- for a
steel bushing. So 1/4" bolt, means a= 3/8" steel bushing is fine. I like to go a
little thicker with aluminu= m (you mentioned 28tpi which implies steel, as for
aluminum I would use= 20 tpi). 1/4" steel plate seems almost too heavy. 0.071"
4130 plate wi= th a welded in bushing would be fine. Primer and painted and no
rust wo= rries (My fuselage is 4130 tubing).

Tom Walter
