Need to order some hardware. For those that used Rivnuts for the floor pans, side panels and tunnel. What size did you guys use?

Thinking M4 or M5.

I bought this kit that has a wide assortment. Figured some may benefit from the smaller ones (tunnel or rear firewall) where there won’t be much tearing force from wind, but the side panels could use something larger. Also bought these weld tabs for the side panels that I’ll put the rivnuts in

I am doing the same thing but will put a nylock nut on instead of a rivetnut

So 1/4-20 on the side panels and 10-24 on the tunnel.

Or make your own tabs out of 1x1/8 steel strapping which can be purchased tjat has 1/4 inch holes drilled - or buy solid and drill your own if that's your thing - and cut to whatever size you need with a saw/grinder.

I usually try to use 5mm at minimum. I found that the smaller ones dont get very good thread bite and tend to strip the mandrel in short time. Also, stay away from aluminum rivnuts.
