M6 Zinc-Plated Steel Rivnut 25 pack, P/N 95105A183, $8.82

I also grabbed some 97217A444 slotted body M6 rivnuts while I was at it... I figured they may work well on fiberglass if you back them up with a washer (assuming you can get to the backside). I am thinking license plate mounts, bumper braces, etc.

Hope that helps.
DITTO! I do the same. Rivnuts work great. My tool is a bit different, but end result similar. I may start using some sealer goup. Hadn't thought of that. In the American sizes, McMaster has a rivnut with an integrated seal on the backside.
