Has anyone local got a rivnut tool, and two spare nuts that I can borrow?

Stew, I'm not sure what a rivnut tool is? I probably have some rivnuts though. Which part of the car is it for?

Ps Not as local anymore :)

Scratch that. I have just googled rivnut and I don't have any of those, sorry. They are what I would call pop rivets. I was thinking of speed clips (captive nuts).

I've got one in Edinburgh, with a few spare M6 nuts, if that's any use.

Good stuff. Just looked and I have plenty RVs from M3 through M6.

I'll actually be down the road tomorrow to collect my pal Murray's Fury from a secret location near Dunfermline.

I'll stick the set in the car anyway. If you want to cover your bases, let me know.

A rivnut set is something every man should have. Mine is pukka Beta kit supplied to me a few years ago by that nice man hendeg. :)

Cheers,

Eric :)
