Anderzander Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 I've done some searching - but can't find anywhere to buy just a couple of the hex shaped M10 rivnuts to fit into the back of a Td5 Defender crossmember. Can anyone help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 Thanks guys - how do they install ? I can't quie make it out .... Does that collar fold up on the outside with the thread inside ? I'm searching now for somewhere that sells them in small quantities..... Also working out if I could get a nut inside and hold it to tighten a bolt there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Hi, Rivnuts fit from the front whereas Hank Bushes fit from the rear so you need good access as you need to put a lot of force on the back in order to use a setting tool (tapered punch or possibly a ball baring) and hammer or press on the front to splay out the hank sleeve.

Anderzander Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 They're a no go then as I'm effectively fitting them blind from the front. It's this kind of thing I'm after.... http://www.amazon.com/Half-Body-Large-Flange-Rivet/dp/B008VGVO7S Half wonder if they haven't got a part number ...

western Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 not a item that would be replaced on a vehicle, M6 & M8 nutserts have part numbers but not the ones your after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Idris Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Your other option is a nut welded to a strip of metal you can slip through a drain hole. Or, the easier one, a bolt welded to a strip of metal you can poke through a drain hole. Trying to fit something and line the nut up is hard, but a poking out bolt thread is a lot easier.

mmgemini Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Any use ? http://www.memfast.co.uk/shop/Vprod2.asp?cat=7218005113 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderzander Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 I think I've got some by way of a sample ... They are full hex though rather than half hex, so it remains to see if I can fit it with the bolt method - as it'll be to much for my humble nutsert tool.

oneandtwo Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The genuine ones are only £1.79 + vat and easily fitted with nut and bolt method. I fitted two last week - the part number is WYH100470 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
