Time in Garage: 1 hour
I have experienced some frustration with anchoring my transmission cover nuts into the floor pan. My first pass of " gluing" the nuts didn't work. I think it related to the finish. I couldn't get a good bond. I then went to a specialty jobber and got some clinch nuts but they did not install well either. Not fit for purpose. Searching the internet provided me a homemade way of using nut rivets without utilizing the tool ( the cost of which I find prohibitive considering I was only going to install 6 nuts) .. Using the YouTube method failed. My son has nut riveters at his shop..both a manual and pneumatic version which I have made a request to borrow..."right tool for the job" has to apply in this application. No short cuts...
