I'm considering pulling the trigger on this RivNut kit -
https://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneuma...rd_wg=mDxP1&psc=1&refRID=MSHX8PWSTB557RSFZA93
- as a precursor to the fuel tank protective plate project later this year. Essneitally I want to mount a flat plate to the bottom of my frame and crossmember / support a plate under my fuel tank. The inboard edge near the driveshaft will be supported by a tubular frame support attached to the tank hangar strap mount locations. Won't be something strong enough to support a high center, more for protecting that huge expanse of poly tank from road debris, ladders and the shattered thighbones of zombie protesters.
Thinking to use cap- or pan-head bolts with either torx or allen head, want something rounded that might grind over a boulder or obstacle better, in case I do high center on something. The GMT800 fuel tanks are basically flush with the bottom of the frame, with only the transfer case shield hanging lower, in the mid-body expanse (and the driveshaft of course).
Looking for any advice on using these RivNuts, on using the tool, whatever is relevant.
