The Ford Barn

I have a steel floor in my 1930 Model A Ford. At present the seats are held to the floor by bolts that go through the floor with a nut underneath the floor. Yes when I want to remove the seats, I need a second person with a wrench underneath the car to stabilize the nut while I remove the bolt from inside the car. Someone suggested an item called a “rivet nur“. This would supposedly eliminate the nut underneath the floor which can come loose. Does anyone have any knowledge of this item and how well it works? I have seen this item and it looks like it should work fairly well but since I have never used them, I am seeking opinion from the membership. The size that I would need to use is for a 1/4 inch bolt. Has anyone used this item? Comments would be appreciated.
