Any Experience w/ Click Bond Screw Grommets?

[wsimpso1]

Hi, wondering if anyone has experience with these products. If you have seen them used, your comments on how well they work, whether you would recommend them, etc, are all welcome. The grommets are simple little steel pieces that you use to line the recess in your parts where a flat head screw fits. In fiberglass access covers, they look like a great idea. My experience with screws in fiberglass parts has mostly been bad - holes in fiberglass on sailboats and store-bought airplanes always seem to be opening up. Where I see countersunk head screws on homebuilts, it always seems like an invitation to being torn up over time...

I have already been installing Click Bond anchor nuts and they seem perfect - broadly bonded to a fiberglass edges instead of trying to get enough pre-load but not too much with soft rivets.

Thanks,

Billski
