need a new rivnut
after breaking the CBS one doing stainless rivnuts (i know theyre only meant for ally ones, but its all i had) well now its broke, tried to fix it,
then i broke some more.
So i need a new one that can do steel and stainless rivnuts without breaking, as cheap as poss!
Cheers Guys

I have in the past seen a wedge type one on eBay, or you can do Rivnuts with a bolt and a couple of nuts an washers, keeping it square is the problem.

After breaking my plier-type tool I got this from MEM (Make Ends Meet)
http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/Vcat1.asp?cat=2258002340
Brilliant and not that expensive.
I'm addicted to brake fluid, but I can stop anytime.

Yeh i did see those two taper blocks, wondered how effective it would be?
I do like the look of the memfast one, but i cant really justify shelling out 50quid to fit my panels, want soemthing preferably a bit cheaper

The taper block ones are pretty good but sooooooo slow compared to a decent lever one.

Well it can take a while doing the stainless ones with my old lever one, needed two of us to them!
And it can feel like you breaking your wrist!
just want to be able to do them easily, speeds not really a necessity
