composite panel inserts
(OP)
I am looking for info on double countersunk inserts with thru holes for fully composite panels (nomex honeycomb and carbon fiber laminate) that ideally could be co-cured in position.
application is for nacelle cowl doors to hold on hinge and latch fittings that will improve/prevent fasteners pull thru during fire tests.
anyone have experience with such a beast?

RE: composite panel inserts
For co-curing, just select a potting compound that can withstand your panel cure cycle, and prepot the inserts during layup. A slow curing one is best, so that they can still adjust things a bit during final layup, before it goes in the autoclave.
