WTD: M5 Rivnut for Bottle Cage Mount

nicksnikita

As above,
A bottle cage bolt seized in the rivnut causing the rivnut to spin in the frame.
I cut off the bottle cage and sawed the head off the bolt.
The rivnut hole in the frame is intact.
Anyone know if/where rivnuts can be sourced in Ireland?
Cheers, Nick

Getting a rivnut is easy it's the tool you need also that adds to the price.

I spotted that on eBay earlier. But a bolt, nut and spanner should work just as well to compress/expand the rivnut inside the frame

Found and ordered some (which I hope are suitable) on eBay.

If anyone needs one in future, drop me a line and I'll send one out.

Cheers
