Brian,

Nice work!

For those of you that don't have access to a lathe here's a tool I made to do the same thing:

I used the 5/16" rivet nut pictured to replace the ones in the dash above the booster that the bracket bolted to because they spun.
I put slow setting epoxy on the rivet nut to make sure once it was in it was IN!

My riv nut tool only goes up to 1/4" so I had to build a setter for the 5/16" riv nuts.

Facing off the end of the tubing.

I Ground flats for a wrench.

Using a grade 8 bolt with 2 grade 8 washers and a nylon washer for a bearing, loaded and ready to test.

I put some sealer on the riv nuts before installing them, worked great.
