I have an aluminum faceplate that mounts to a chassis and I don't want
any fasteners to appear on the front surface of the faceplate.

I'm after a nice clean look.

This chassis will mount in the wall.

I've looked everywhere (you name it fastenal, specialty hardware
places etc), for a type of fastener that I could use that would allow
me to PUSH this faceplate into some chassis holes and have it stay
there with a sturdy grip.

Any help? Â*thanks


3M VHB tape. Something similar is available to secure trim onto
automobiles.
Might be easier to find at you auto supply store. I have used the 3M
tape to hold things for machining.
