 Rivnut hardware My buddy who is a semi mechanic says you gotta use stainless hardware and use lots of antiseize, is this true?

Re: Rivnut hardware I used them on my blind because that what came with it. They kinda work but I didn't care for them.

Re: Rivnut hardware Rivnuts are aluminum and work very well when installed properly. The key is to NOT overtighten them when setting them. SS bolts are fine to use and recommended to cut down on rust. Antiseize is not necessary, but it definitely wouldn't hurt to use a little.

Re: Rivnut hardware Was going to use cordless impact. Don't have the air rivnut gun though. Just the cheap version of the rivnut gun from menards to make sure i like it before i buy a good one
