Yep they work well with access only from the the top, only thing I'd add is to smear some sikaflex or similar pu sealer on the insert before setting it to deter corrosion around the drilled hole and make sure you have sufficient depth between skins too as they need to protrude through a way before you can set them. The only other thing is if you think you may ever want the bolts out is to grease the threads as they go in, stainless will still sieze in the ally insert & if they turn as your trying to remove a bolt they make a right mess of the panel getting them out
