Re: Flush-mounting rivnuts
Normally, you wouldn't flush mount a rivet, they are designed to stick out.
But, the proper way to flush mount a rivet would be to drill a hole about 1/16" larger than the head of the rivet so that the head of the rivet would sit down in the hole. Make sure that the material you are riveting is thick enough so that this does not affect the strength of the material or the joint.
Also make sure you are using the correct type of rivet. Use flat-head rivets or countersunk rivets instead of normal rivets.
