Default Rivnut install tool

Anyone have one in the Baltimore area that is willing to lend it out? I am replacing the rivnuts in my new (used) PWJDM intake and I think I need one of these to properly do the install.

If no one has one, I can pick one up cheap, but I figured I'd ask fist before shelling out the cash.

I picked one of these up for cheap at Harbor Freight, but of course it doesn't have the right size mandrel to do the install. Online, mandrels cost more than the tool cost me....

I am not sure exactly what type of rivnuts they are. I think the size is M6x12, but I am trying to get confirmation from PWJDM.

Olegator,

PWJDM never got back to me regarding the riv nut size. According to the install manual, they are M6, however testing on my own shows that they are actually M5. The rivnut tool I bought was not metric, so I picked up one off Amazon for less than $50. I'll probably sell it when I am done.

So... if anyone is interested I have 2 riv nut installers for sale... send me a PM.
