Can i get a rivnut??

Can anyone tell me if i can get a rivnut to fit these

CLICKY

I have been to a couple of local hardware shops, motor factors, halfords but i can't find a rivnut the right size.

Am i barking up a tree that doen't exist because the thread is UNF?

If so i'll have to make up some brackets.

Thanks

might just have to get the m8 bobbins as this will be the easiest option by the looks of it!!!

You could get the rivnut, but depending on what you intend to hang off the mount they may not be strong enough and pull out of the parent metal, also most are light weight ali for aircraft with fairly weak threads.

I wouldn't rely on rivnuts to hold my exhaust on.
I made an L shaped bracket that bolts through the floor and then the bobbin mount to that.
