I've seen one in a refrigeration parts catalog. Refrigeration Hardware 
Supply Corp. The catalog I've got is a few years old, but the tool and a bag 
of 100 rivnuts was under $150. I've never bought from these people, but I 
assume they would either sell direct to you, or can advise what resellers 
they sell to. Their phone is listed as 800-423-2446 or 800-833-3515. For 
those who don't know, a Rivnut is a trademarked fastener that allows you to 
install a removable machine screw in sheet metal (or fiberglass, like the 
DeLorean GRP,) where you otherwise couldn't. Looks kind of like a big pop 
rivet with a threaded hole in the center.
