Can you tell me if the cylinder part the handle is fixed to is threaded or clearance drilled through. Also the thread coming out the bottom looks smaller dia than the top one ? Asking as I'm going to have a go at making them. Once I find someone with a metal lathe.

I always "imagine" building things myself will be better...
How good is it with stainless steel rivnuts they all seem to demonstrate with aluminium rivnuts but never stainless, which I tried with the old nut n bolt method and was near impossible without using a extension bar on the spanner and a second body to help hold it.
No idea - not used it. Wonder how they stop the Rivnut thread from turning?

I would think its pressure on the shoulder on the rivnut, and the bottom of the drilled sleeve once you start tightening it. Like you, I've never used one so don't know. All will become clear once I have a go at making one....I hope.
on my one there are like teeth on the bottom so it grips against the rivnut , will try and find it, famous last words and take a pic
I have one but I lost all the adaptors ages ago, only one I have for it is M4 now which it works ok on that size and aluminium rivnuts, seem to remember it didint do too well with M6 and M8 stainless rivnuts

Cost of the Rivnuts and bolts only. I got the bolts in 10 packs, and the Rivnuts in 25 packs. All in off eBay for about £12Tremendous!
What do you reckon was the total cost?
