Rick, I have NO 337 -- But, I do have a log book entry by a certified A & E. Unreal Scenario: The Feds decide to walk to my plane because they have nothing better to do.
"Oh let's call up the owner and find out about this little plug?" "O.K. I happen to have his cell phone number in my new wallet size 4 X 6" computer." Now that's a crock! BUT assume (and you all know what that means) I'm asked by the Feds, and never will be asked, "That's the way the factory delivered the aircraft to the customer." OR - "That's the way it was when I purchased it." "Thank you, Just curious." This is called, Bull shit! But why would the Feds even be concerned unless you called them up and told them. Hmmmmmmmmm! Are you nuts-or or do enjoy making unnecessary waves. Remember even a wrong nut, washer or screw is a no no without a legal entry of some sort. The only time any of this will really be questioned is if you and your passenger are found dead after a crash. So then you have no worries anyway. Prof. Ed P.S. Be smart - do it according to the Reg.
