I knew I should have consulted this list first. Of course, I've had no luck
doing anything with a pop-rivet gun. It always ends up loose, at least for
button snaps.
Is there a specific part number/size one should use for the RivNuts? I looked
on spitbits, and could not find any items related to mirror mounts.
Definitely a new web page candidate to talk about this. Or better yet, a wiki.
