K1100-08 Nutplates

Has the shape of the K1100-08 nutplate changed? Mine all have the standard tabs on each side. They don't look like the drawing in the plans. On the left is a K1000-08 and on the right is a K1100-08. Nothing in my hardware reference looks like the K1100-08 that I have pictured. And what exactly does "Kaynar" refer to? Thanks.

The contersunk ones come in two shapes. No difference but aesthetics and (probably) manufacturer.

Hah!

Maybe you received my K-1000-08 nutplates by mistake. I was going through my inventory, and bag 1380 (I think) was supposed to be about 200+ K-1000-08 nutplates. They put the K-1100-08 nutplates in there instead. I sent them a picture showing the wrong type of nps were put in the bag, so they sent me the correct ones a few days later (and I am returning the excess K-1100-08s).

Edit: Whoops, now I see what you're saying . . . unregard my reply.

The supplier reduced the weight by changing the shape of the ear transition.

Kaynar invented the type of fastener...long ago...far away...

I figured the shape was no big deal too. Dimensions were all the same. I just sent an email to Vans with a photo showing the bag number and what was inside on top of the inventory list. Hopefully get the proper nutplates soon. Thanks for the responses.
 
Kaynar

With Kaynar nuts a portion of the thread has been deformed to provide the locking action. It starts off round in shape but ends slightly oval. The increased friction prevents the nut from coming undone.
