SO here I am, working on the tool panel door frame when a nut plate fallls
out due to rust.  "Oh Poo," I say
(I actually said Poo).  Then I think about all the clever ways I can
weld/epoxy it back in place.  But now, as
 I look further into the matter, the nut plate itself does not appear to be
locked into one place.  Could it be these are "floating" nut plates within a
spot welded frame to the frame member?  I would rather not cut a big piece
out and fabricate a replacement part out and then try to allign the nut
plates into position with the tool panel door.
My thought is to scrape rust as best I can, convert remaining rust back to
metal, then do something to let the nut plates remain in place but "float."
Does this sound reasonable?  Any thoughts on containing the nut plates when
the original "Frame" is gone?
