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 fabbed a little nut plate to put on the interior side. Was able to install it one man that way. Rib nuts should work also.

Hmmm. Many moons ago. Don’t remember exactly. Believe it was triangular and made from thin gauge aluminum. Used aviation rivet retained nutplates. jiggered it into the hole, and I used some longish screws to skewer it

Remembering back makes me like the idea of rivnuts even more

Aha…it just came to me - it was circular. Put a cut through it and “spiraled” it in through the hole. Necessity being the mother of invention and all
