Mohair Canvas Fixing - stud/popper type
I will be embarking on fixing Tenax Fasteners to my cappings. The thread size is 2ba and ideally I would like to drill and use a rivnut.

Does anyone know if there are 2ba rivnuts or what they are called please.

Here is a pic of the fastener.

it might be easier to get the studs in a metric threaded size then get rivnuts to fit.

I drilled and tapped the capping, it’s easy enough and the capping gives probably 3-4mm of thread. The curve does make it more difficult to get all of them sitting perfectly straight though

Being curved you wouldn’t get a riv nut to sit flush so would always look a bit strange in my opinion

Paul, the tenax fasteners are pretty old school and pretty sure they are all in ba threads, I think they do make some with holes to allow you to use your own fasteners.

Why not drill (number 22, though 4mm should suffice) and tap 2BA thread?

every day is a school day always willing to learn something new.
