Or suggest one to buy to sort out a bottle mount rivet bolt.
Will happily send £10 paypal gift to cover postage costs.
Will return 1st class recorded- promise!
I need it over a weekend as frame is with a mate.

I realise this is a big ask. Been on here since the big crash- yes the STW one and before.
So I promise no messing around.
Wally.

cheapo quid shops will sell them for a few quid - should work a couple of times at least.

If you can't get hold of one you can make one up.
You'll need
A bolt of the right size
A Nut to go on the bolt
A washer or a metal bar with a hole big enough for the bolt to go through.
Spanners/hex key
To use thread the nut onto the bolt then place the bar/washer on the bolt. Thread the bolt into the rivnut.
While holding the bolt still turn the nut anticlockwise so that it pushes against the bar/washer. This will nip the rivnut up

You may as well buy one.
I've got a cheapo one, cost about 15 quid, it was good enough to use in the build of my kit car so i'm sure one would do the odd bottle mount now and again. Just be careful with the smaller (4mm) mandrels as they can bend/break quite easily, only a couple of quid for a new one tho.
