Cant you use a High Tensile M4 Bolt with the head cut off?
That's what we used...

genius it works.
Just broke my tool yesterday so this made my day.
BTW I used a M5 bolt, makes it easier.

hellfire, Not sure what you mean? how will the bolt head cut off help? The maderal seems to have a reverse head on the opposite end from the M4 and
its prob about a M8 thread?

The mandrel / threaded stud on my rivnut tool that screws into the rivnut itself will unscrew from the tool and a new stud can be screwed in. Ive just
had to do this with my M6 mandrel - made from a M^ bolt with the head cut off.

Why does that video make it look so bloody easy. They must be ali rivnuts, but they never seemed that easy when I was using my Laset tool!
