Started fitting parts for the grab handles :)

My first go at using rivnuts, i was going to practise but somehow went straight to 'testing in production' :brute


Anyway, i'm very happy with how easy it went, i used 7mm rivuts (M5) so i didn't have to drill out the factory holes, and bought/used a cheap threaded bolt style rivnut tool.






Last shot is a quick view inside the pillar, showing the crushed up rivnut.  I would have continued with attaching the handle brackets, but i discovered i needed washers for the bolts i'd chosen, annnnnd, i don't have any :(
