    Funny I've been using things like the rivnuts for years putting together paper maunals and never knew them by that name.

    I like the Jack's velcro idea. Might have to try that on my next wiring.

    Mopar34,

    trivia info... Actually the screws and nuts that look like rivnuts used with binding paper are called sex bolts which have been renamed barrel nuts in the McMaster Carr catalog - http://www.mcmaster.com/ - search for sex bolts. My paper version of the catalog (5 years old) list them as sex bolts.

    Aluminum rivnuts and stainless steel bolts/screws may bind. Also crimp the rivnuts as tight as you can so they don't spin when tightening or loosening the bolts/screws. You can get rivnuts with crimping area knurled to reduce spinning. Check McMaster Carr.
