I looked up the rivnuts for the rear water and gas trays in the rear. As per the TM rivnut part number als-1024-225 has a grip range of .130 to .225
Is the rear floor actually that thick? I measured a piece of fender I cut out(just installed m1151 style ac vents) and it measured .083 in thickness. I tested a rivnut in the scrap piece and it squashed all unevenly and threads are crooked. Not a good match. Just thought I'd check with everyone here before I put the wrong rivnut through the rear floor and have to drill it out.

You must be right. Different part number listed for the fuel access cover rivnuts but same specs and they go through the cross beam underneath if I remember correctly.
