Also some mil standard #10 platenuts (floating type),
rivets, and some grade 8 #10 bolts with 1/8 grip
length.  A word on Rivnuts - rivnuts tend to not
spread load out wide enough for something that sees
much load, and will defrom the sheetmetal (we use them
in lots of places, but to hold light stuff). 
Nutplates distribute the load over a much broader area.
