Title: Stripped threads on Johnson chassis Post by: W9BHI on November 19, 2012, 02:41:56 PM I just received a new toy today.
It's a rivet nut installation tool. I just replaced all of the stripped out 10-24 screw holes on the back of my Ranger II. I also replaced the stripped out 6-32 self tapping screws on my SB-220 top shield cover. They tool is on EBay for $32.00. It does many sizes of pop rivets and also 6-32, 8-32, 10-24 and 1/4-20 rivet nuts. The party that sells the tool also sells the inserts. I thought this tool might be something useful to others on the board.
