[Public-List] Inspection Plate

[Stephen Gwyn]

I drilled and tapped a 3/8" hole in my inspection plate.
I made a stand for the Z-leg out of multiple layers of
plywood, with hole drilled in each and the bolted together.
But I'd rather have an aluminium stand.
When the inspection plate is not in use as a cockpit
table base, I plug the hole with the bolt and two
washers, the bottom washer made of rubber. No water
ever gets in, even when the cockpit drains plug
with leaves and the cockpit is 3 inches deep
with rain water.
