thumbs up for nutplates myself,
that is a really good point on the side pillars not needing to come off.
i just removed my windscreen last night and the previous owner had nutplates on the bottom aleady, i will be adding nutplates to the top aswell but not to the pillars like you mentioned here.
to add to this i also intend to add Latches to the seatback inspection panels to make checking oil and for leaks/wiring more pre-flight friendly. if you dont have to grab a tool to access it there's less of a chance of human laziness taking advantage.
