Re: Rivet Nuts and Rivet Studs

We've used a couple of riv-nuts here and there.

I really like them and think they are a fantastic idea. They can be especially useful when mounting something to thin-walled tubing. The tubing wont get crushed if you tighten the bolt too hard. I feel like any situation where a riv-nut is possible, it should be used because why worry about a nut and a bolt when you could just worry about the bolt?

Of course, because of the flange, you wont want to use them when you want the two parts to be flush.
