Door Mirror Rivet Nuts and Rivet Tool
« on: March 03, 2009 - 10:45:10 PM »
Does anyone have a door rivet tool?  I have a door that needs the riv-nuts.  R/T specialties has the rivets for $1.00 each, but I also need a tool.  I checked at Lowes for the tool and rivets, but I could not find them.  Does anyone know where you can shop for this?

Thanks,

Daniel

You can get it pretty cheap at Harbor Freight:

I have also sent mine to various members here.  They used it and then sent it back.
If you want to borrow it, just PM me your address and I will send it to you.

FYI ...you can install those using the appropriate threaded bolt, I use a cap screw, put a nut and washer on the bolt, thread it into the nut sert with the washer against the exposed face , insert in the panel, then tighten the nut similiar as to how you would a puller, the nut sert will collapse on the panel back and once tight you loosen the nut, remove the bolt. Do a trial part on a piece of sheet stock , you'll see how the nut collapses on the back.....dk
