[QUOTE="SteveBob, post: 484896, member: 31345"] Thank you for your well thought out reply. "Fooling with them" is already in the plans, I have a small sheet of aluminum about the same thickness and type of aluminum as the pods. I was going to test several of the rivnuts for fitment, water tightness, and resistance to twisting on axis. Also the rivnuts I purchased are stainless steel and have closed ends and beveled flanges with a small tit to help prevent twisting. These were more expensive than most rivnuts and are supposed to hold better than the standard rivnuts you can get at the local hardware store. I am considering denting the pod to accommodate the tit then putting a little jb weld on the flange between the nut and pod to assist with waterproofing. The nuts are not the bulge type but rather the drawn into the sleeve type for a much stronger bite and hold. Yay the pods and my rivnut tool just arrived while I was responding to this. [/QUOTE]
