Another semi-endorsement for rivnuts. They are really cool things, in theory. However, beware of using in 1/16th wall stock -- very easy to spin them, and then you have a mess. Installation is also an art! Too much force, thinking to make a better seat, tends to mess up the threads, especially in aforementioned 1/16th wall. Still, they're pretty neat and tidy when done well!
