So I've pulled off the SG rock sliders - don't start with me there - to grind off the crap rust powder coat....they're only seven years old, can't imagine why the magic powder coat crap doesn't hold up to Iowa winters.
Several of the bolts under the vehicle (the Disco) were either (a) siezed in the riv-nuts and broke off, or (b) spin the riv-nut and have had their heads gound off.
So, I need to have some method for re-attaching the sliders to the vehicle.
I'm thinking that for the broken bolts I can drill them out and just re-tap the holes.
Any ideas regarding the spinning riv-nuts? Remember that the inside of the sill is not accessible and I'd rather not have a loose nut rolling around in there.
