Sprinter is for sale
I’ve put in several rivnut type fitting and fine that most although most end up spinning after installation. Even the ones that a welder installed are stilling when I try to back them out.
Using the installation tool I have them very snug in the metal hole. After removing the tool I insert my bolt, a couple of turns and the rivnut starts to spin in the sheet metal hole. Only way to remove them is to drill them out.
I think they are a great idea, but useless if I can’t get them to sit still while accepting a bolt.
Anyone else had this problem, is there a trick to installing them that I’ve missed?
