Re: door mirror nuts inserts

So do those expand almost like a pop-rivet when the bolt is threaded in?

Not to hi-jack this thread too much, but what can be done when there is tearing around those holes, top one specifically on the larger tri-leg mirrors? Is there enough room to get a backing plate in there?

Re: door mirror nuts inserts

Well sort of. here it is in action. The tool expands it then you just screw fastener in.

You could cut out a square piece around the hole, weld another square piece in its place and redrill the hole I suppose.

It may be hard to get a backing plate in there. I guess it could be attaced with panel adhesive cause it would be tuff to weld one there.

I am not a real bodyman (but I try) btw some may know a better way.
