Different length Rivet Nuts available to suit different wall thicknesses of metal posts. See product options (selections) above.

Instructions

Pre-drill your post holes for the rivet nuts.

Using a rivet nut tool, install the rivet nuts. Important! The Rivet Nut Tool must support installation of M6 LHT Rivet Nuts, not just M6 RHT. Not all Rivet Nut Installation Tools support this. We supply the SRC HN-02 Heavy Duty Rivet Nut Tool with a compatible M6 LHT Mandrel alongside the M6 RHT mandrel here.

Insert the wire rope into the swage stud terminal ends at each end of your run. These fittings require a hydraulic swaging tool. Crimp the swage terminals onto the wire.

Insert the RHT swage stud terminal into the RHT rivet nuts . Do vice versa for the LHT fittings. Thread with hands first and tension the swage stud terminals with a spanner.
