Pem nuts are great. They come in multiple different designs for different applications. We typically use an f- series nut because it is flush on both sides and is extremely to install correctly. They are much much stronger than just threading aluminum and they are a blind fastener when it comes to the installation aspect, so there is no need for any access to reach a nut or other piece of hardware on the back side. An f series nut can be installed with any hydraulic or arbor press, and most rivet squeezers.

When we cant access the back of a part, we used a rivnut which is a completely blind fastener as only one side of the material needs to be accessed to install the part. these parts are great for putting threads in tubes or in really odd spots. They can be found at our sponsors web site: enfasco.com
