remember we send out the 1/4 20 so the tool is less cost and easier to find.

here is one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ilpage_o09_s00

. Like I said you can make your own tool very easy. Also that riv nut is steel so do not try using that tool on a aluminum riv nut. If you want to use your own hardware let us know and its $20 less cost. its in the drop down menu

I've actually already installed the nutserts and wickerbill. I'm wanting to see what it looks like with the stainless hardware

Hell of an idea. Had them all over my ZX14, good up to 185 and beyond.

Here is a look at the SS hardware that you can get on line for $50 for seven screws and washers. They are at Ring brothers

Confused why you need this long strap??

I watched this video

Start about 8:20 to see what he did.

Looking around on the NRG website, their hardware comes in all different colors. These titanium ones look pretty good..

What size drill bit did you use for this hardware?

pimp2303 · 11-08-2015, 09:46 PM

I think I drilled 2 of my holes slightly to large. The rivet lip catches but it spins inside even inside(doesn't catch when I try to squeeze the rivnut with my homemade tool). How can I fix this or is it to late.

Zslash28 · 11-08-2015, 10:03 PM

I would try to get some epoxy in there to fill the gap or pin the riv-nut.

pimp2303 · 11-08-2015, 10:52 PM

I tried epoxy and it just wouldn't grip it good enough.

I couldn't take it anymore. I ordered my wickerbill last night, along with the NRG black hardware and a 35/64 drill bit. Should be here this week sometime, just in time for my car to sit for 5 or 6 months over the winter...

I've watched your video about 15 times now. Yours is the only one on youtube.

You did say in the video that you started with a 1/8" drill bit, but you never said the size you used for the actual hole. I bought a 35/64 like they say to use with the GM hardware. Just wondering if the NRG uses the same size. Do you
recall what the size was?
