Slarti please don't take this the wrong way others may have had a different experience but after using loads of rivnuts on different race cars over the years in ali Steel and different composites I now only use them where there is no other option. Where I do use them I double up the bond by coating them with PU adhesive both on the rivnut and around the hole before fitting. I have lost count of the number of these things I have had to cut bolt heads from and then drill out as when I needed to remove a panel the damn rivnut just merrily spun!
keep at it your making good progress sir!
