I've had some troubles with riv-nuts in aluminum panels, such as for the transmission tunnel to floor. Not sure if it's just some cheap riv-nuts or what. It took me about 3 times in and out with the tunnel before I finally had it fastened down. I kept having riv-nut inserts break off and I think I have one bad one now I'll have to replace the next time it's off. Kind of wished I had stuck with screws as I would have had it on in 20 minutes instead of 1-1/2 hours.
