Not Ranked
HI, Dave-
That's what I thought too. I wish I could remember who sent this info to me, because he said the tool and the nuts he mentioned were the exact ones used by Contemporary to set the nuts in the frame at the factory. I was finally able to make time today and commandeer a helper to get the old nut out. It's definitely a riv nut type nut. I originally assumed it was a nut welded to the inside of the frame but it's not. It's a round unit inserted through a hole slightly larger than the bolt it accepts, and then somehow the nut type unit is squeezed making a ridge behind the inside surface of the frame and expanding the unit to hold it in place. The nut used is definitely steel, not aluminum. His information was very specific as to the type and model number of the tool and the nuts themselves, that's why I'm hoping he'll reply again. I'm wondering now if it was sent to me through an email from the CCX owners group, rather than through CC. I'll try a mass email as well. Thanks, Dave.
Doug
Anyone else out there have a lead on the unit and nuts I'm talking about?
