I looked up the rivnuts for the rear water and gas trays in the rear. As per the TM rivnut part number als-1024-225 has a grip range of .130 to .225
Is the rear floor actually that thick? I measured a piece of fender I cut out(just installed m1151 style ac vents) and it measured .083 in thickness. I tested a rivnut in the scrap piece and it squashed all unevenly and threads are crooked. Not a good match. Just thought I'd check with everyone here before I put the wrong rivnut through the rear floor and have to drill it out.

The can holders are mounted with 1/4-20 rivnuts petal or tulip style. They have slots.The slots even out the grip for softer materials. Example: the rivnuts on the clearance & taillight buckets. The manuals need some updating.

There are no rivnuts used for the taillight buckets. Those are rivets that branch out.Mark Rozak wrote: ↑Sun Jul 23, 2017 3:59 pmThe can holders are mounted with 1/4-20 rivnuts petal or tulip style.

Re: rivnuts for gas and water cans in rear
You are correct. The petal design is similar to the tail light bucket rivets.
