got a repair in mind that a countersunk rivnut would make a neat repair , but its thicker than sheet steel , guessing 4-5mm thick or so
can they still be used?

If you've got 4 or 5mm thickness you could just drill and tap the material itself...got a repair in mind that a countersunk rivnut would make a neat repair , but its thicker than sheet steel , guessing 4-5mm thick or so

Rivnuts are often used, like pop rivets, where there isn't any access to the rear. If the OP has access to the rear of the panel/plate then an anchor nut retained by two pop rivets would work.You could always counterbore slightly on the back to get it down to the max thickness for the rivnut
