Just wondering where i could get the correct one of decent quality to install a wickerbill. I see a lot of people have bought them to find out they have bought the wrong style.
I've done pop rivets before but never riv nuts so educate me so im not buying the wrong one. Links are always appeciated.
Thanks.

That one from Amazon, I had one. It worked well for a while, but it eventually
broke. They're cheaper on eBay too. I used it for replacing most of my push in
fasteners on my mustang with nice stainless steel bolts and nice read washers.

Like so:

Those were all push in fasters. Replaced them all with riv-nuts and bolts.

Did it here on the Camaro:

Tail light covers, replaced them with nice bolts and black dress up washers.

This is when the tool broke, and I had to keep repairing it to work, so I tossed it out after
doing this. It messed up one location when it finally gave out completely.
