Riv Nut tool needed, Taunton / Somerset or surrounding area
Does anyone have a rivnut tool as required for fitting of a RAI?
Looked online and they seem to cost a bomb. I only need to crimp 3 nuts.

Same here, just make sure you don't drill the hole bigger than necessary.==================================

The alloy rivnuts are more tolerant of hole size and seem to have a larger head as well, plus of course are easier to crimp.
Always grease the bolt/screws when fitting so it comes undone in the future otherwise you will join the long line of rivnut haters.
