Cheers,
When Tony K of NZ extolled the quality of Rivnuts as a way to cut
time in installations, I was intrigued and have managed to save time and
energy attaching various devices to their proper sites. I used both #8-32
and #10-32 models from AirSpruce and homemade applicators to install.
Lately however, having lost the knack, I tired to assemble several
in the top of the instrument coaming and lost every one through failure and
breakup (they don't seem to compress but fracture). Since the application of
a rivnut involves committing to a larger hole than usual, failure creates
complications as well as frustration. I used .250 or the rivnut would not
enter.
I looked up your Google rivnut and came across BOLLHOFF as the
maker, and a description of their "EZ - Thin Head Round Body" for 8-32
application. They recommend a hole size from .234 to .238 inches, but my
measurement of the acquired
I am drowning in self-pity here.
