I had to install a coolant tank. so I ordered the "Weapon R" tank the construction is solid,and it is smaller than the password jdm one. man there is no room under these tiny panels...

I needed a bracket. so I started with some recycled square stock.

I am using nutserts to install the bracket. they expand in the frame and leave a threaded hole.. they look like this.

and here it is fully installed ,one step at a time you know. I painted the bracket orange with "Montana gold, 61250 terra" that paint is awesome by the way...also it is held on with a "sickspeed" washer bolt combo.

Is that a standard pop rivet tool? If so I want to find these so called nutcerts, that seems like a handy addition to my seldom used rivit gun!

Fishman43....look closely at the tool...it has a threaded end sorry bro, this will not work with a regular rivet gun.

I am doing small carbon accents on this build. so here is my fork wrapped.. these are done now and look OMAZING in the sun.

I made this tail light bracket and wrapped it in carbon vinyl. the taillight was like 20 bucks, the panels fit better when they are bolted down.

We use this setup on aircraft. It is called a RIVNUT Tool. It has a threaded end that srews into the nut, then you insert that into the hole and squeeze it up like a 'pop rivet', unscrew the tool and hey presto your done. A quick google search reveals a few options.
