It would seem "gluing" the card, with nut plates, into place seems so
final.  I was thinking of no glue but initially place card into place with
a temporary clamp, or a small patch of double faced tape, to center on main
bracket bolt centers....then install two bolts, remove clamp and install
other two bolts....torque them home together.  If fiber-lock nuts are used
no safety wire is required.  If the fiber wears out, down the road, they
can be replaced easily if the card is not glued in.  If there is such a
thing as a cleco with a 1 inch+ reach, a couple of those could be used
instead of clamps.

{You're right, Jerry, attaching a nutplate card with adhesive is pretty
"final", as you put it, but so what?  Think about all the other places on
the kit where you use this approach as a routine matter... what's the
difference between those apps and this one, I wonder, which would make it
less appealing here but more appealing there?  Personally I would rather 
fiddle around with clamping it into position one time only and not worry
about it from that point forward.  You also have to remember that we're
not talking about a component that's going to be removed very often...
the GM4 bracket remains in place even if you need to pull the gear for
some reason.  Here's one of those opportunities to make something easier
down the road once and for all, what's the point of going half way?
