luggage rack attachment

["Theodore R. Stevens" <trstevens@earthlink.net>]

This is probably a naive question, but is there a way to use machine screws 
and nuts, instead of sheet metal screws to hold the luggage rack on?  On my 
'74 TR6, it looks like the holes for the machine screws are blind holes, 
and I don't see a way to get a nut to the other side, but I thought I'd 
ask.  I've considered the threaded inserts that go in like a pop rivet, but 
don't have them or the tool.
