It doesn't make sense to have the extra "rivnuts" near one edge on only the rear rails. What purpose are they supposed to serve? Again

Re: 520 upgrade: lock knob with stud
I don't get it either, hence the purpose of this thread. 
Bringing it back to and expanding the original question, original 520 owners:
1. How many studs did you get?
2. Do you have the extra rivnuts on the back rails?
Thanks!

Re: 520 upgrade: lock knob with stud
Neither of my 520 upgrades came with multiple rivnuts on the rails. Except for the main table which has two per rail, there is 1 rivnut centered in each rail for the floating tables.
I received 2 extra screw knobs, with each kit and 3 extra springs with one of the kits. My rivnuts were not installed correctly in the rails and I had to buy a tool to seat them properly
