Hi Deano,
Some years ago (25-30) there were these nuts that could be installed with a
pop-rivet type of gun in thin metal. If I remember correctly, they needed a
hole just a little larger than the actual nut. (of course the brand name
escapes me) Seemed to work fine at the time?!?
Cheers,
Pat

It looks like I may well get the Herman van den Akker Toyota 5 speed tranny
onversion into the TR-6 this weekend. This after having to ship the tranny
ack to southern Cal after UPS dropped the damn thing. In the mean time I
leaned up the interior, put a new coat of paint on the floor pan etc etc.
Have one small but big issue. The captive nut on the floor pan on the right
ront of the drivers side seat gave up the ghost. The placement couldn't be
orse. The hole in the floor pan is directly above the frame member there. How
n the hell does one deal with this. Barely enough room to get even a screw
river in the space. I thought of looking for something similar to metal
xpanding molly fasteners used in hanging heavy objects on drywall. Haven't
ooked yet to see if there is one available that will stand up to the stresses
n the seat. Any advice is welcome.
Deano
