Got it in one:
They way i figured it the rivnut would have greater purchase on the metal plate rather than the fiberglass, and would be a less destructive way of fitting them, as the smaller ones I set for my door plates caused the top layers of the glass to bulge outward so it needed sanding flat again.
The rivets will stop the plate from spinning.
I'll see how it goes. Won't be doing anything for a while though, as I have the dreaded pig flu and the Quack has me on Tamiflu. Ah well - no work, and the Ashes is on. Can't be all bad.
