I didn't see the need for any rivnuts, as they held themselves in place anyway, so just bonded them in with crystic bonding paste, then fibreglass around the edges. I'll put on a final layer of tissue tomorrow, and maybe a bit of filler to smooth it all off. Happy days!
If your'e trying to achieve an arch, one simple way I've found is to make a rectangle of fibreglass sheet (thin, only about 2mm max) and then just bend it to shape. It will bend back of course, but if you clamp it in the curved position, and add a GRP edge to it, once it's dry you have the desired shape in smooth GRP
