THe previous owner was working on the door panel on the passengers side and drilled all the screws holding the door panel on. The only thing I could do was finish the drilling until I could remove the door panel. Then I had to knock out the square nut that was in the door because the screws was in them and I could not remove them. How can I replace the nuts. I tried to weld in some new one but that did not work I was getting weld splater all over the inside of the door where I am doing body work. Do they make a replacement nut for the door panel? | | | | | Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 172 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2011 Posts: 172 | i dont know if you can get what we use in the uk
but ther,s a type of rivit with a thread inside called ,,rivinut,,
it may do the job for you i,v used them on buses and the like for fitting panels where you cant get to the back of to hold a nut or where you cant or darn,t weld
an internet search may come up with some for you
live or die do it with spanner in hand

It's a tool similar to a pop riveter, but it permanently installs a threaded sleeve in all the common machine screw sizes. I've used it many times during race car construction where we needed to install a removable panel for access to something like a hidden Nitrous Oxide bottle!
