mount point on the Driver side panel and middle section, Connect the driver side panel and middle

nut will not hold the bolts in place.

expanding the nutsert/rivet nut into place. If you do not have the tool you may still be able to attach
the nutsert/Rivet to the vehicle, but it is strongly recommend to use the Nutsert/Rivet nut tool.
