It's a fairly easy modification. The pre-punched rivet holes are drilled out with a #27 drill bit. Then K1000-6 nut plates are installed (similar to the wing tips are installed). The screw holes and rivet holes are countersunk into the fiberglass cap. Were as the screw holes in the aluminum are dimpled with a set for a #6 screw. The screws used are AN 507-C632R8, these are stainless screw but could be substituted with steel AN507-6R8.
