Rivet Nuts

Post by RogerRust »

I'm going to experiment with some Rivit nuts on some scrap plate. I plan to use a HT bolt and several washers to deform them.

Roger, these are excellent to use. Be carefull if using the alloy ones as its very easy to strip the threads. You are not too far from us here at Napton, so why not pop in and borrow the correct tool for fitting these, so much easier than washers and nuts. :D :D
