I was going to comment on having to contend with the rivets, having read this I shant bother

Rivets were a doddle in comparison, I've bought rivnuts/nutserts for when it comes to putting the carrier back on permanently, I'm HOPING they won't be troublesome but I'm not counting on it, this door & lock are fighting me all the way, it's a battle of will's & I'm determined to win, I have to or it'll fail its MOT in a couple of weeks. :(

Hi what size of rivnuts did you use?

It was a while ago now, I had M4 Flat Head Short for material thickness 0.25-3m & Steel M5 Flat Head Long for 3-5.5mm thick, the tool I bought wouldn’t close the steel ones but there’s more of them missing from the packet so I think I must have found a way to fit and use the M5’s.
