Armrest Nuts
« on: August 12, 2017, 12:20:23 am »
I have found two replacement armrests for my (new to me) EV.  I now realize that the brazed-in nuts in the backrest have broken free and I have nothing to thread the armrests into.  Does anyone have a trick for fixing this?  My last resort is to drill out the backrest sheet metal to accept a M8 Rivnut.

I went with Rivnuts and they worked well.
