Agreed.. that's what I'd do too.

I just had to do a similar installation on my '69 Camaro license plate bracket
mount.
I was able to find the "RIVNUT" style insert at Orchard Supply Hardware, and it
included an installation tool as well. The installation tool is fairly low tech
in this application, but worked flawlessly. The kit came with 5 inserts and the
installation tool for something like $3.28. If you can't find something like
this
for yourself, I'd be happy to send you one I can pick-up at my local Orchard
Supply
Hardware.
