Has anyone used these with aluminum? I have some rod holders to mount and can't get to the underside. Well nuts would take up too much space.
Ayuh,... I use 'em all the time,...
Do alittle lookin', 'n you can find closed end pop rivets for workin' below the water line on tin barges...
Here is a link to a place to give you an idea of what's available

Yes. Rivet Nuts. My appologies, I didn't know what I was talking about.
Ayuh,.... In that case,.... Ya, No problem, Go for it...
They swell up pretty good, 'n should leave BIG holes if yanked hard enough to dislodge 'em...
Are ya Sure ya can't get to the backside, 'n plywood shim it,..??

I don't know that I can reach that far back. I'll find out.
Just use some stainless screws, as long as it isn't external below the water line that would work fine, it leaves a small hole and is easily removable
