How to mount a rivet nut?
First you choose the right grip range and the right metric innerthread for your application (attention on the needed space behind the sheet!) and then you get a manual or pneumatic tool for rivet nuts.
When you lazered or drilled the needed hole size for the aluminium rivet nut, you screw the rivet nut on the outer thread of the tool and pull back the innerthread towards the collar.
This way, the rivet nut will deform itself and grip the thin sheet.
Simply unscrew the outer thread from the blind rivet nut with large round head and you're done!
