Aluminium Rivnuts work fine....if you are concerned about corrosion a nip up before loosening works. You can break the head off a 2BA or1032 R quality bolt (4.8in metric) if you seriously overtighten (with a sheet /component between the rivnut head and the screw.) In a former existence I made aluminium Rivnuts & regularly surprised disbelievers! If you can make a hexagon hole the Rivnuts will expand into the hexagon.
Land Rover winches were held onto the chassis with 3/8 unf flat head Rivnuts and an instruction haw to install them without a bespoke tool. Bolt,2nuts & a washer (and some cursing! )
