Default Re: Do rivet nuts work?

Yes, I have used them when installing PS on my 53' Merc, to fasten the end frame bracket to the car. They were used by the factory originally, for the same purpose. These are way heaver than you will be using, but the application is the same.

I have always been able to reach around to get both ends of the bolt and nut, when removing or installing the seat, but your reach might be more. It depends on how good the metal is on your floor and floor brace. If it is at all marginal, you could just rip out the nut when adjusting the seat. I use additional heavy large washers on the bottom,below the floor.
