I'm installing Chris Foley's firewall bushing which is a beautiful design.
Has anybody installed one using fasteners other than the sheet metal screws or pop rivets that came with the kit? I've been contemplating installing #10-24 riv-nuts after reading someone else's experience with either the screws or the rivets (I can't remember which) working loose over time. What's your experience? |

I've installed a couple so far and always used the rivets... I've never had an issue.
Rivet nuts aren't a bad idea.... I suggest keeping it metric though. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Please don't think that wasn't my first idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The predrilled holes in the bushing housing are smaller than 6mm but fit #10-24 perfectly. I want a little more beef than 5mm bolts. Although I may open the holes up to 6mm before it's all over. It's hard to buy riv-nuts in small quantities. I can get a 10 pack of them from McMaster-Carr but with shipping, a 10 pack is more than a 100 kit from amazon. And something in me hates buying a bulk of things which may rarely or never be used again. The nut plate idea is a very good one and I'm going to strongly consider that. Thanks for the input! |
