Aluminium pop nuts.

Rivnuts of threaded tubular rivets...
I've got plenty if you want some, about £0.15 each, but you'll need the rivet pliers to fit them.
Probably best to have a look around for a good bike shop or general engineering company locally.
Happy to ship my rivet pliers for you to use if you can pay a deposit.

Re: Aluminium rivetnut.
Hello Dan.
Are the rivetnuts you have suitable for bike frames? The flange is just over 9mm in diameter, according to what i've read and hole i need to drill about 7mm, if i remember correctly. I can fasten the rivet in the frame by using a wheel hub & it's QR skewer, apparantly. Thanks for the offer of hiring out the rivet pistol to me. If your rivetnuts meet the requirements for frame use then i would be happy to take 4 of them off your hands. Are the ones you have aluminium? Better to ask too many times than not enough, just to be on the safe side.

Richard Lees.

Hi Richard,
The ones I use have a larger flange to give a better contact with the bottle cage etc: 7mm drill hole, 10.5mm flange:
These are zinc plated steel. I find that while the aluminium ones are easier to pull as they are softer material, the knurled teeth on the aluminium ones don't grip the hole very well at all.
A QR might do the job, but you might need proper tools this big:
PM your address and we can get you some shipped.

Are steel rivets suitable for aluminium frames? Do you have any experience regarding this question. I don't. It's not a top notch frame but i have ideas to make the complete bike a bit of a head turner. I think it has potential.
What are you using them for? Thanks again for offering to help.

I have some in black if needed (would need to check size but i think it is right).
