Jim,



I wasn't the original poster on this thread.  I think it was 

Sacha.  However, speaking of Rivnuts...



I've experienced some of the issues you are talking about.  The last 

few times I've used Rivnuts, I put an internal-tooth lockwasher on 

the back side of the Rivnut before squeezing it, so that it gets 

clamped between the work surface and the bulge formed by squeezing.


	


   Nice vaccination against spinning rivnut syndrome

   . . . but if you could get at the back side, why not

   nutplates?

Agree - but that's the big IF - sometimes you  just don't have enough space or access to use nutplates.  (It's just another arrow in the "How am I gonna fix this GD thing" quiver.)   -JL

No need to apologize for "high jacking". I've gathered lots of food for thought which I will now attempt to digest in order to design the battery and contactor mount.  Thank you all. 



I wanted to use rivnuts because they would allow me to permanently fix the steel plate and then bolt things onto it. The rivnuts I was going to use were steel ones. Of course I wasn't aware of the issues with them coming loose. 



I'm also having second thoughts about using a stainless steel base as I just weighed it and it's 1kg which seems like overkill.
