Update on vang repair:

The aluminum rivnuts arrived yesterday.  I decided to purchase a tool to do it 
"right," but discovered that the tool won't work because the track space is too 
small for access.  Instead, I used a method from Youtube which worked fine.  
Installation of the rivnuts was relatively easy and straightforward.  I messed 
one of them up (overtightened and stripped the rivnut), but I removed it easily 
and replaced it.  The holes I drilled for the rivnuts were not perfectly 
aligned (due to either the original installation or the damage caused by the 
jibing incident), but there was enough play to install all the new bolts.

Project done; everything looks good.  Thanks for excellent suggestion!

Matt
