ABSTRACT:
A method of securing a nut plate to a workpiece includes the step of providing a nut plate include a nut, a holding bracket having tubular and bracket portions, and a stem. The tubular portion has an aperture therethrough which is inwardly tapered from a first end to a second end thereof. The stem is positioned within the aperture of the tubular portion. The tubular portion is positioned within an aperture defining a wall of a workpiece, such that the bracket portion rests on top of the workpiece. The nut is retained within the bracket portion. A force is applied to the stem such that the head expands the tubular portion radially outwardly from the first end to the second end such that the tubular portion becomes secured to the wall. The holding bracket may be formed of two separate elements, a sleeve having a tubular portion and a bracket.
