The provided reference discusses installing a rivnut, which is a type of threaded insert, not a rib. Therefore, I will address the installation of a rivnut, rather than a rib, based on the reference provided. The reference video discusses a specific type of rivnut used in Volkswagen vehicles.
Based on the context of the provided reference (installing rivnuts), here is how you install a rivnut:
Installing a Rivnut
The video explains using a hex shaped rivnut, instead of a standard round one. Although, the installation method would be the same for either:
- Prepare the Hole: Ensure the hole is the correct size for the rivnut you are using.
- Insert the Rivnut: Place the rivnut into the prepared hole.
- Install the Rivnut: Use a rivnut tool to compress the rivnut. This tool expands the back of the rivnut, securing it in place.
Key Points:
- The video highlights that there are specialized rivnuts, such as hex-shaped rivnuts, used in Volkswagen vehicles.
- Installing rivnuts requires a special tool that compresses the rivnut.
