The rear floorboards in the RV-8 are normally installed permanently with pop rivets. Several builders have modified them to allow removal by replacing the pop rivets with screws. Since there is room underneath the floorboards that would provide a convenient place for items including trim servos, autopilot servos, etc, I elected to make the floorboards removable. This turned out to be a major undertaking. One person I talked to had done it before and recommended I make copies of the original floorboards, but with half as many holes for the screws. After installing twice as many nutplates as was really necessary, I wish I had taken that advice.
