[Diy_efi] OT : mounting fastners

[Bret Levandowski]

GM uses 'riv-nuts'. You should be able to get these at any major nut/bolt supplier. It is a threaded collapsable rivet. You put it in the hole, take the inserting bolt slide on a non-threaded jam nut then a star washer. You screw that into the the riv-nut, hold the jam nut with a wrench and tighten the inserting bolt causing the riv-nut to collapse vertically and expand horizontally. Use some ultra-grey before inserting the riv-nut.   Ski

Ive a new console to mount to the floor of the car... there are 2 holes - 1/2" diameter already in the floor pan does anyone know a way to put a fastner in there without getting to the back side... its kind of a pocket in the body floor. What Im thinking is like what you use to mount a screw in the wall of you house... drill a hole pop the insert in and then screw a fastener into the insert and it holds...

mods consideration for my OT is appreciated
