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?

Great idea. That plate is a really nice upgrade to an already amazing one.

I've experienced both issues @chrisfoley mentioned...the hole wandering a bit, and finding replacment rivets when needed. Would be awesome to use the plate instead.
