riv nuts

[Mistrale]

Hi there,

I bought the riv nuts from memfast on ebay! I made a too myself: I got a bolt of the appropriate size, 2 nuts and a washer. I drilled 1 nut out to remove the thread. I then threaded the bolt in the following order: Good nut, washer, drilled nut then rivnut. I popped the rivnut into the hole. I held the bolt still and turned the good nut 3 or 4 revolutions, which worked really well. The only slight mod I made was to hold the drilled nut still with a flat spanner - this stopped and turning of the rivnut. Worked a treat for me, much better than £37 for the proper tool!
