Anyone Got A Spare Rivnut Tool?

[thxrover]

Like an idiot, I purchased the OEM GM bug/stone shield for my 2500 and while trying to install it myself, lost the screw part of the rivnut assembly in the engine compartment. I called my Chevy dealer and they said they can't help me because they outsource their parts installs and that each "kit" only comes with the rivnut tool and they can't get me one.

 

I'm hoping someone out there has installed their own shield and actually kept the rivnut tool. I'd be happy to pay shipping for it and I could even ship it back if you need it. I've tried several other hex head, machine thread screws but none of them work with the rivets that came with the kit.

 

I attached a photo. I need just the tool and not the entire assembly which includes the rivets. I've got the rivets, I just need the hex head screw part of the tool.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.
