Spud,
I have a riv nut kit that I bought from one of the many ebay sellers....
I used mine for some electronic assemblies I was putting together, made life so much easier...
Cant specifically recommend any particular brand, they seem to be all a much of a muchness....
Spare captive nuts are available too cheap as chips...
