Rivnut size and type

[tcrist]

If you are going to use the 10-24 rivnuts, I would use these McMaster-Carr.

If the ends are going to be exposed you might want to use the closed end ones.

Terry, it just links to the general rivnut page. Which particular type do use?

Bob, I think I'm just going to use a bolt, nut, and washer to install if it works well, even if it takes longer.

Lippy,

Depends on the material thickness. If you are going through at least 1/8" material and plan on using a 10-24 thread, I would use a steel rivnut with the ribbs on the side to keep it from spinning, P/N 95105A131. If the material thickness is thinner then I would use P/N 95105A127.
