I just purchased two concave inspection plates from
ASS and they are a perfect fit for the fuel level
sender access I cut on the top of the wing. However,
do they stay on using only the springs or should I
drill a few holes for screws or rivets? They seem
pretty secure as is.

Rich,
I'm no aeronautical engineer (though I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express
last night), but I think you can compute the amount of lift per sq.inch
based on the gross weight and wing area and get an average for any location.
This would tell you about how much force will be pulling on the plates.
Obviously, different parts of the top side of the wing have different values
of lift coefficient.
My gut feeling tells me that anything located on the low pressure side of
the wing would not be a place to put the spring loaded inspection plates
without the addition of screws.
