I replaced my awning motor until with one bought on line, no issues.
I used an old mechanical pop-rivit "gun" they are cheap as you don't need a "hydraulic" one. The holes are made for pop-rivits and it would be next to impossible to secure a nut on the inside.
I know there's no way you'd get a nut on the inside. I was thinking of using some self-tapping/threading type sheet metal screws.
I seem to recall years ago when I had to have the torsion/spring assembly replaced on a manual awning we had on another RV, that the technician that did it just used screws, didn't use rivets to put new one in, so was wondering if I could do the same thing here..
