PLEASE CONSIDER. If you plan to do this to your carbon fiber, please be aware of something called "Galvanic Corrosion". This is an interaction between the alloy rivet and the carbon causing corrosion in the event that the two are in the presence of an electrolyte (like rain on a wing mounted to your trunk?). There are solutions. "Dark Aero Project" explained the method they used.
A nice demonstration. I need this tool for rivet nuts that were placed incorrectly (wrong side of the post) on a hollow patio pergola support post. Now I understand how they made the part. I can see a lot of creative uses for this tool. Thanks for the 2 minute education.
Question. I need to use a Rivet Nut on an Aluminum Floor of my Inflatable boat (kind of a double wall about 1/4 -3/8 thick) . I cant seem to find out if any of these Rivet Nuts are made for applications in Aluminum. Salt water environment. Any suggestions?
Hey nice video, i appreciate the time taken to explain in depth. What rivnuts or cross nuts would you suggest for a car dashboard (pvc material). I need to attach a stereo panel but i need it in a way where if i have to make any future repairs i can unscrew the nuts and take the panel out. Its a diy project so i have to fix the panel on a desired place on a dashboard where i need some good grip to fix it and i find these kind of rivnuts or cross nuts appropriate for the job but i am afraid that when i apply the torque it might crack the dashboard. Any suggestions will be a big favor. Thanks.
@@nanopotato420 Hey, to be honest i didn't tried either the rivnuts or any cross nuts. I first tried with just a simple screw and it did fixed the stereo panel (frame) pretty well to the dashboard. Keep in mind using a screw did made a permanent hole on both frame and the dashboard but it didn't mattered to me that much as it was going to be a permanent placement for the frame on tha dashboard. Also i did hid the screw heads with a vinyl wrap (fake matt black carbon fibre) after tightening them completely and it looked pretty neat. Only thing that bothered me was that if for some reason i had to open the frame and put it back again on the dashboard, finding again the exact hole for the screws to go back on the dashboard was a bit difficult and some times the screws made a new hole just slightly side by side to the old hole and some times the screw just kept rotating and wouldn't stop at a certain point after tightening but it wouldn't come out until i unscrew them. So to fix that issue, i took a slim nut bolt, then i slightly made the previous screw holes on the dashboard a bit wider with a solder iron, but not wide enough for the nut to pass through. Then i kept the nut over the hole and put the tip of the soldering iron on the nut and as the heat increased on the nut, it slowly started to melt it self on the pvc dashboard and i made it kept going (buying the nut) inside until the nut was flush with the dashboard surface. Then let it cool for around 15 mins and then fixed back the frame with bolt. Doing this made two things easier for me, one that it stoped making new holes on the dashboard as it was an issue with screws, and the second one was that the nut stopped rotating after tightening it to a certain extent. Both screws option and the nut bolt option gave almost a similar strength of fixing the panel but nut and bolt was a better option in my opinion. Then i wraped it back again with the vinyl and it looked like a factory fit and finished frame for the stereo. Hope this idea helps.
@@Rrocksstar Thanks for the update, it's good to hear that you fixed your frame and obtain your oem looks. A brave bold move but successful outcome! I'm adding a self-made tri mount becuase many aftermarket companies are making mounts that don't support mainstream and universal 25mm ball mounts. I have many leftover arms and mounts and am not trying to spend hundreds just for a newer limited style.
@@nanopotato420 hey, i hope you get your tri mount fixed. I feel like screws or nut bolts will be good fix instead of using rivnuts or double sides tape. Also to hide the screw heads, a one sided black foam or gasket tape can be used to give a clean look.
Quick question.... My m6 hardware keeps stripping the silver insert to the point the torx just falls into the insert. How do I prevent it from stripping everyone of the inserts?
So glad you used it in carbon fiber sins i need to use it in the bottom of my carbon fiber wing to mount it. Thought it would wreck it... but it don't(:
Really? This is cool my friend! I'm reworking my motion sim rig out of CF.. Yep.. Need a little of this for sure! Subscribed! Nice channel. DMAX motion sim Ch

Thank you for that... But frankly that's nonsense... How can you put a rivet nut in a carbon panel this thick. It maybe good for looks, but I'm glad non of the race cars I ever drove where put together like that..

You sir have a new subscriber! I searched endlessly for way to properly mount an aftermarket spoiler and this looks to be the key

B. Schmidt no problem glad I could help 👍
Not planning on using it for anything auto related, but this will work well for my project! Thank you for showing this!
Would this application work for fiberglass paddle board?
Blake you think is possible to make new hole spoiler wing with that ??
Don't forget the notch when working with sheet metal :)

So wouldn't you want to set the nut into a metal hole then screw the carbon fiber to the object?
You can use it to put metal threads in wood. Detail your next wood project. thanks for the video
Considering adding rivnuts to my S15 widebody guards and spoiler while they are off, but... I don't know. I think I feel a mix of lazy and scared.
Good tool
You got yourself another subscriber. One love from uk
Thanks 👍👍
What drillhead works best or how do you know what drill bit to use if rivnut is m4,m5 or m6 size??
Totally tubular man

I know it's been a while but have you tried this on plastic dash material yet? If not, what route did you take?

Do you think an M4 nut would be flush if put in an aluminum video monitor enclosure?

Dude, thanks a lot!
Thanks! I knew there must be something like this.
You had me at Led Zeppelin! 👍🏽
So glad you used it in carbon fiber sins i need to use it in the bottom of my carbon fiber wing to mount it. Thought it would wreck it... but it don't(:
Appreciate the demo, especially on such a flimsy material.
Love the No quater man ! Hell yeah
The car guy Peter McKinnon lolol I need to grab one of these
hahaha!
has anyone had any issues with attaching rivnuts into like an abs plastic or bumper plastic? Just don't want to crack the plastic
sameee need to know

Nice tool thanks 🙏 👍🏼
Thank you for that... But frankly that's nonsense... How can you put a rivet nut in a carbon panel this thick. It maybe good for looks, but I'm glad non of the race cars I ever drove where put together like that..
Ever heard of an example???
