Hi Guys,
It is possible to set a riv-nut without the proper tool.
Just drill a hole in a flat piece of bar a few inches long (6 is good). The hole should be no bigger than required for the bolt to pass through. Place a washer on the bolt, bolt through metal and then into riv-nut. Place rivnut in hole and tighten bolt with socket.
The friction between the metal bar and the riv-nut stop it turning, the washer makes it easier to turn the bolt.
Once tight remove bolt and check riv-nut is seated properly.
This method is not always perfect and a practice run is advised.
As it seems to me that you guys are pretty competent you may find this is the far cheaper option.

but have a big, fat cheque ready.
The side boxes have a plate that you bolt to the floor, you then slide the boxes themselves on to that when installing them, they come out easily. The centre drawer is bolted between them with four bolts.
I've just noticed the above, so I can only agree.
