There's an easier way available to us in modern times - it's called the
RivNut. They're threaded inserts - you drill a blind hole, install the
insert with tool, and presto! a thread in the sheet metal, complete
with some backup to keep the sheetmetal from taking all the stress.
This is how my door mirrors are mounted.
>>Mine too, and with no problems to report. I
originally used these on a project at my old job where
a small spring would be pulling on the bolt threaded
into these 24hrs/day, and had very few failures. BTW, I
found mine @ Orchard Supply Hardware under the name
"Thread-serts". Daren says check 'em out.
