Windsheild replacment company spun a rivnut in the roof sheetmetal. Anyone know the thread size and pitch of the bolt/screw holding the bar on or have an install manual? -Im gonna atempt to re-tighten the rivnut if i can locate the correct mandrel.

 

 

I have the Marson RN-1, which us just a single handed setter. But checking the the M6.0-1 mandrel is $25 after shipping (no Amazon) https://www.blindrivetsupply.com/Mar...10_p_1427.html.

For less than double that single mandrle you can get the double handed setter and a whole range of mandrels, including the M6.0-1 for the roof marker rivnut, for $48 from Amazon
When I get it Ill post my results.

 

M6 x 1.0 x 40mm class 8.8 bolt with nut & washer costs less than $2.

 

I'm with you. Buy a tool you need once and never be without it again.
Plus, you can use it in the future for a multitude of different projects.
I have used mine for a few friends snorkel setups instead of the rivets. This allows them to be easily removable.

 

Couldn't agree more!. I've got this one. Yeah, expensive, but it's come in handy more times then I can count.
