Re: rub rail nuts
Best not to use old ones as they are pressure fit and won't work a second time

Re: rub rail nuts
Or, if you're a cheap bastige like me, you'd file a slot across both ends for a big screwdriver.
Re: rub rail nuts
Sorry I guess I spent too many years building jets, how the &%^ would cutting a slot in a rivnut do a thing for you.

Re: rub rail nuts
The rivet nuts are not reusable but are available from McMaster: http://www.mcmaster.com/#standard-rivet-nuts/=n1zczl
There are a few different tools for installing them and McMaster also carries them but they are available other places for less money. I found a pliers-type on Amazon a few years back.

Re: rub rail nuts
Another option are well-nuts. I used these when installing my aluminum rail. Sure, they aren't flush, but with wood you can counter sink them....and they won't rust! They are used on Jeeps for Lizard Skin all the time.

Re: rub rail nuts
The following bits I used to replace rivnuts on my 710K (Austrian), and they pretty much match up to the hardware size previously installed.
I don't think the original rivnuts are stainless steel (looks to be aluminum to me), but I put stainless steel hardware to replace the originals.
McMaster Carr:
97467A666 18-8 Stainless Steel Heavy-Duty Rivet Nut, M6 X 1.00 Internal Thread (9mm OD)
93475A270 18-8 Stainless Steel Flat Washer, Metric DIN 125 M8 Screw Size, 16MM OD
92000A438 18-8 Stainless Steel Metric Pan Head Phillips Machine Screw, M6 Size, 30MM Length, 1MM Pitch
Rivet Nut Tool (6mm) about $18
The tool works great to set rivnuts, less than 1 minute per rivnut. Small enough to fit even a trail kit, does other size rivnuts too.

Re: rub rail nuts
One word of caution, and why I went with the larger well-nuts, if the old hole is misshapen, the rivnuts won't work well.

Re: rub rail nuts
If you do use rubber, counter sink the wood about an 1/8".

Assume, counter sink the back side of the wood?

Re: rub rail nuts
Ya, to accommodate the head of the well-nut.... if you want the wood to be flush with the side. My rails sit out about an 1/8, which I don't mind at all because water won't collect back there.edzz wrote:berger wrote:If you do use rubber, counter sink the wood about an 1/8".

Picture helps. You can see the well-nut near the end of the rail.
