That's what I installed. Obviously lol. I'm sure using the "tool" provided in the kits can be frustrating, but it's absolutely worth it to use the $20 riveter gun from harbor freight. Made it so easy. I'd count the nurserts and if you have any extra then compress one as a test just to see what you're trying to accomplish, and if it compresses evenly, or if you'll need to sort of position the threads in two spots to evenly compress it or something.

Also, the body metal is so thin than if you don't hold the nutsert flush in the hole while you compress it, you'll pull the body metal and the nutsert will be angled. If that happens it's easy to thread into and straighten out because the whole body is basically made of tin foil lmao.
