Rivnut dimple for access covers

[Ted Waltman]

I just uploaded two pictures of access covers that I have where they have
been dimpled for rivnuts. I've looked all over the web and can't find any
tool that creates these large dimples for rivnuts. Has anyone on the list
seen such a tool to create these rivnut dimples or is this some totally
custom deal that someone made?

The pics are in area 123 S/M Miscellaneous.

Thanks in advance...

Ted

Ted, My best guess is that was a one off lathe job to make a male and female die set. I have never seen anything like this for sale.

A completely home-made tool does this job for me. There are countersunk
Rivnuts, but in most of the location you want to use them, the material is
not thick enough. It is not hard to make.
