The Disco Automotive Hardware .1835MT is a professional-grade rivet nut designed for automotive body repair and assembly applications. This threaded insert provides a reliable, permanent threaded fastening solution in sheet metal panels where access to the backside is limited or impossible.

Key Features:

• 5/16"-18 UNC internal thread size for standard bolt compatibility

• Blind installation capability - no rear access required
• Creates strong, reusable threaded attachment points in body panels

Rivet nuts are essential fasteners in collision repair, custom fabrication, and vehicle restoration. Once installed using a rivet nut tool, they expand against the backside of the material to create a secure, load-bearing threaded insert that won't pull through or spin. Common applications include bumper covers, fender liners, interior panels, and underbody shields.
