I had a thread out there about how to bolt the 3in downpipe to the 3in swingvalve to 63a/r housing.

One post mentioned nutserts. I've been doing some research, but can't find alot of good info other how much everything costs.

As it stands, I didn't know a tool was needed to insert a nutsert. The images I seen, it looked like they were pressed in. In researching, I find the nutsert is pulled in to the hole.

What I have right now. My trusty craftsmen swivel riveting tool. I also have 8mm nutserts. Can I buy the correct adapter and use my rivet gun? Is there a home made tool way to go about this?

Also, some general directions on which end of the nutsert goes into the drilled hole?

later
