Hi guys,
In the middle of cab resto and swap. It appears my body guys had some difficulty with the wiper pivot bolts and wiper motor bolts during cab disassembly and left me with a dilemma. My question is the threaded inserts that are pressed into the sheet metal mounting the wiper pivots and wiper motor hanger( 3 in total) have been popped out and are missing in action. WHAT ARE THEY CALLED! I can probably take them out of my original cab but would rather get some new ones.
Thanks,
Stu

I believe they are called rivet nuts or "rivnuts".

Re: Wiper mounting Q&A session
Are you talking about the .5" x .7" rectangle with a threaded hole in the middle? It's called a Pierce Nut http://www.fabristeel.com/ProductsandSe ... ndards.htm
The only place I've seen them in small quantities is AMK products on page 62 of their catalog.
