Because no rivnut will fit the thickness of both cap can and the fuse panel, I decided to use M4 copper pop rivets. M5 would not go through the fuse panel.
I bought 8 and 11 mm long ones.
I also used a M4 stainless steel washer to protect the phenolic fuse panel from cracking.
I also did not pull the mandrel all the way through, but stopped where I felt it flared the barrel enough to hold well, and then pushed the mandrel ouit.
Here is how it worked. I might use the pop-rivets and rivnuts interchangeably, depending on which one fits the place best.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
