Re: Rivet Nuts

Thanks for the tips Roy. Do you guys use the standard, knurled, or hexagonal shank rivet nuts?

Cory, thanks for the idea on the extra plate. We might do that if rivet nuts start stripping. I don't think we can tap our tube because we plan to primarily use 1/16 wall tube. Also I don't like nuts because it is another thing that we can lose if we run into a quick change in eliminations.

Greg we will look into weld nuts and pem nuts if Roy's suggestions don't end up working. We hace access to both a press and a welder, but it seems like the rivet nuts are the easiest to install.
