My weideer M6 insert purchase belongs to the threaded-fastener kit for the van. In the interior-preparation diary, I installed the remaining M6 rivet nuts while the cargo-area mounting points were accessible.
Preparing the attachment points was part of the interior work before framing, flooring and panels.
Preparing the M6 Attachment Points Before Framing
I installed the remaining M6 rivet nuts inside the cargo area.
I prepared likely mounting holes before the framing, floor and panel work began.
The inserts created threaded attachment points in prepared holes, a different arrangement from the roof extrusion slot nuts.

My Takeaway from This Job
Preparing the holes early was the useful build decision. For replenishing this type of hardware, the choice below is a focused M6 pack or an assortment that also brings other metric thread sizes into the kit.

An M6 rivet nut creates an internal metric thread in a prepared hole. Setting the body with a rivet-nut tool is a separate operation from fastening an M6 bolt into the finished insert. For a van panel, the insert body, hole preparation and material thickness need to work together. Keep the insert specification beside the setting-tool setup and bolt size. Rivet nuts also differ from extrusion T-nuts: the former are set in holes, while the latter sit inside a slot.
These rivet nuts provide an M6 internal thread in a flanged insert body. Their knurled outer surface is set into a prepared hole with a rivet-nut tool.
