I've used a longer bolt with a washer and nut , 

Screw it in , and hold the bolt head still, and wind the nut and washer toward

The rivnut.

Hi Pete Ok, thanks I'll look at Youtube and see if I can do that. Failing that (being cautious here) perhaps I could beg use of/hire yours if you are agreeable. Nice  to get it done but not critical urgency. Thanks again for the advice..
