Good Morning Raymond,
There are keyed RivNuts and there is a tool to make the slot for the key. I have had good results just carefully filing a slot in which the key will fit. Works great!
Happy Skies,
Old Bob

Another solution to rivnut rotation I saw suggested somewhere is to file
2 points into the hole, making it kind of a diamond shape.
Theoretically, the bulge expands out in to the diamond shape and
prevents rotation.
Haven't actually tried it, but it seems worth investigating.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty,
understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system.
And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness,
egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men
admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.

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.
