Another possibility for the notch. Mark where you want the bigger hole for the Rivnut, then centerpunch for a second hole on the radius, (example, for a 3/16" Rivnut, the hole may be 1/4", so first mark and drill the hole for the notch [1/16" will probably do}1/8" out from the center, then drill the bigger hole and install the Rivnut.
Another possibility on the tool is your local autobody repair shop, although they may not have the smaller sizes of pullers. Allen G. Wiesner KR-2SS/TD S/N 1118 65 Franklin Street Ansonia, CT 06401-1240 (203) 732-0508 flash...@usadatanet.net
