Hi I've just taken off my left rear wing on my 67 minor to have some welding done to the rear Spring hanger, and it was so rusty some of the captive nuts came away from the inner wing! That said, does anyone know where I can get a rivnut tool and rivnuts that take 5/16 unf nuts to keep things original?
Many thanks
Richard

Re: Rivnut tool
Google is your friend 
but I doubt you could get the rivnuts in English sizes, only metric. M8 would be nearest size.

Is M8 a 13mm spanner? I think that's what I used!

Re: Rivnut tool
Hi solved the problem with the rivnuts., ordered a tool and some rivnuts and it works well, although looking on YouTube I saw someone had made a homemade one with an 8mm bolt, washer and nut, ant that worked a treat!! Amazing!
