John,
You were on the right track with the Pop-Rivet idea. There is a 
product called Riv-Nut and various other names that is essentially a 
blind rivet with threads. You use your rivet tool to install it and 
end up with machine threads in sheet metal. I think they range in 
size from 4-40 up to 3/8-16. Cooler than Hollywood.
