MVC-241F.JPG (64587 bytes) The 1" dowel plug.  I used a 9.5mm drill to drill the hole.
MVC-242F.JPG (62145 bytes) The plug with the threaded insert installed.  The inserts can be found a most good hardware stores for about 30 cents.
MVC-243F.JPG (35871 bytes) I used a 15/16" hole saw to drill a hole in the root rib.  Make sure you don't drill the hole any deeper than necessary.
MVC-244F.JPG (37016 bytes) The finished product.
MVC-245F.JPG (35819 bytes) The plug with a 1/4x20 nylon bolt inserted.  The point makes an indention in the fuselage where the hole for the 1/4x20 socket head cap screws.
