it's a suspension brace, not a rollbar or seatbelts, or something like that.

Okay, I think I need to clarify this further. I purchased a later model rear subframe so that I could use a Beatrush PPF brace which I picked up on the cheap. The subframe that I purchased came with the 6 point rear brace. I was thinking it would be a good idea to install it, because you know, I had it, so why not. I am looking for a simple solution; I don't want to turn the car into swiss cheese just so I can add a brace. I know I could cut holes and put nuts in place, but I only wanted to drill the one hole and use a bolt (which I thought would exist, but apparently it does not) to secure it. It's become apparent that this project goes into the too hard basket for now, until I decide to start cutting up the body.

For reference, it is this brace:

The solution is 2 rivnuts a side or 1 weld nut.
