If you only have a couple to do put them in with a nut bolt and washer.

 

Get a bolt, 50mm is ideal, put on nut followed by a large washer screw on the rivinut untill it is flush with the end of the bolt thread, thighten the nut untill the washer contacts the rivinut.

Shove the rivinut into the hole, hold the head of the bolt steady with a spanner and thighten the nut untill the rivinut expands and locks in place.

Remove bolt etc.

Hi Dan, I've got a rivnut tool (from tifosi). You can borrow it, but I'm not sure if it will do M10. M5's are fine.

 

If you're not in any hurry, you could pick it up at the next Fox House meet.

The nut bolt washer method with a ratched ring spanner on the larger sizes does it for me every time plus its far easier on the wrist too.

All sorted now thanks. i will get to a meet soon, if its not work its the weather

anyone used one of these?? the theory looks good and should be tuff. and for all the lazy's you could use a drill to tighten the bolt (easy)

Pretty much the same as nut & bolt method;the inclined plan can only be used for taking up the slack; setting the rivnut must be done by screwing up the cap-head bolt.
