Madmax Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2013 (IMG) Datsunkitt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr(/IMG) Here is my latest little project, restoring my headlight buckets, sandblasted them and powdercoated gloss black. (IMG)Datsunkit by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) (IMG)Datsunkitttttt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) i ordered the rivnut tool from Mcmaster carr. $56.28. then the M5x .8 Additional Mandrel and Nosepiece Set $14.58 and a set of 25 M5 rivnuts $8.10. Not exactly Ratsun style!!! (IMG)Datsunkittttt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) ordered the longer shank rivnuts but should have ordered the shorter ones!!! 95105A175 6.49 this is the correct one i believe (IMG)Datsunkittt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) all this work because i was rough with my Nuts. couple cracked and one just broke!!! i made tool like Mike Klotz told me but was little rough and in a hurry!! (IMG)Datsunkittttttt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) The rivnuts squished down pretty good, shorter nuts next time. but they all felt really tight... (IMG)Datsunkitttt by Datsunlover1971, on Flickr (/IMG) The finished product was wonderful, worked great and going to have a long life...Pictures installed next week!!! Quote Link to comment
