Which Rivnuts??
 
What rivnuts have people used.

I've been looking at the ultra low profile

and the ones for thin sheet but the thing that is putting me off is they don't have splines.

They seem god value from memfast and postage is cheap.

Unless there is a better supplier.

I would advise a blob of glue on them as rivnuts in thin steel can and do work loose, once loose they are a cow to get out as you can imagine.
I used to use ali ones as they crush up better than steel when using a hand doodah but still added a blob of gluey stuff just to make sure they stayed put.

great advice from Fabby there, :cool:

I,ve used low profile ( do they make you go faster too? :D ) ali rivnuts & used the rivnut tool thats for sale on your linky ( I believe they are expensive) but are easy to use & give a good grip on the rivnut/chassis steel , just pleased I didn,t have to buy one........thanks for the loan of yours Spud :D

cheers
