Went back
to the rivnuts in the front plenum chamber and did them correct this time.
Also popped
in a couple
of rivnuts in the dashboard to see if that will work. It does. But I will
use pop-rivets
underneath
to secure the body to the bottom of the frame. Takes a while to install
the rivnuts.

Drilling
holes to attach the body to the frame. Tried to used the rivnuts in the
front plenum chamber.
Naw, this
ain't going to work. Rivnuts don't have enough crush to accomodate
the fibreglass and the frame.
And now
that I have typed this, I just remembered my original idea, drill the fibreglass
to clear the head of the rivnut,
so the
rivnut only has to crush in the frame, compared to the frame and the fibreglass.
That is what I thought of before,
why didn't
I try that? Getting old, I guess. Will one more time before succumbing
to bolts and nuts.
Impossible
to get access fo the nuts inside the frame. Trying to avoid using regular
rivets.
