Landrover17H Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Got a package today. Mr 'discomikey' has done his good deed for the day. From what I can see; not sure at any price I'd have got there without his intervention. Whilst these freely exist, DM had them, and getting my own would have meant taking a punt, importing sets from all over the world - with no guarantee of the correct item for my effort. It could ahve got very silly, very quickly. He asked me to shove a few pennies to the forum, which I've done. More than happy to put what I'd have spent importing what would, just-as-likely, been incorrect fasteners, as support to the forum. My galving lives on. Mr 'discomikey' THANK YOU!

zardos Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) A bit late, but M6 rivnut 9.1mm hole with 0.25mm to 3mm expansion should have worked in your 9.9mm holehttps://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/products/m6-rivet-nut-thin-sheet-steel-grip-range-0-25-3-00mm-hole-size-9-1mm or even bigger grip range https://www.orbitalfasteners.co.uk/products/m6-rivet-nut-flanged-steel-grip-range-3-50-5-5mm-hole-size-9-1mm Edited June 2, 2020 by zardos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrover17H Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Those are the standard-fare. The listed 0.25 to 3mm is 'sheet thickness' hole-size 9.1mm. For a hole 9.1mm, all the M6 seen, crush out to about 9.7-9.8mm and 'just about' touch the sides at 9.9mm, but don't grip well enough for something getting as hard a life as the door-stays on an S3. Made exactly for this application; DM's 9.9mm hole-size for M8 appears very obscure, I've yet to see this anywhere else, including Wurth's current catalogue. As discussed the standard M8 rivnut would be too big. Hence why I was very happy for him to intervene. Not tried them yet but I'm expecting them to crush out to at least 10.5 -10.6mm, which gives the 'collar' required. I'm still thunderstruck that having read my post, he should know he had the solution! Edited June 3, 2020 by Landrover17H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
