Having trouble coming up with a viable solution to screw an alum. panel to 3/4" X 1/6" thick alum tube. This is a removable panel and my plans call out for rivnuts. Every time I install these panels I need to drill out 3 or four of the screws and the rivnut. The rivnuts are the counter sunk type and the counter sunk thin tubing is just not enough to hold the rivnut from turning.
I might have to re-order the two tubing pieces and take the time to slide nutplates up to each hole and use pulled rivets to secure them.
I have not mastered installing rivnuts and I am ready to say they won and give up on them.
