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? |

M5 would make more sense than M6, which is oversize for the job. Even M5 requires the holes in my housing to be opened up a small amount.

Chris, thank you for allowing us nuts to keep our teeners in (better than) top shape A big shout out to Tangerine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
