There is a fastener for blind sheet metal holes. Unfortunately I don't
know it's name. You can find them at the local Ace hardware store.
They are aluminum thread inserts which colapse against the sheet metal
when compressed. You comress them with a tool. My tool is actually a
nut and a bolt. I use a nut slightly too large for the bolt so it acts
as a compressor when the bolt is screwed into the threaded insert.
