I have some nutserts but in Walton on Thames, probably easier just to get these from ebay for less than £2
You want the aluminium ones, less pull up force required and a little more margin for error. The usual drilling size is 7.1mm

Also anybody have any spare m5 rivnuts?
Hundreds. Only in steel serrated open-ended format, but I've got plenty of them. FWIW I've drilled water boss holes in my probably-a-Dawes-Galaxy and fitted rivnuts and it hasn't exploded yet.

Thinking of adding bottle cage mounts to my frame. It doesn't have any since it was some sort of prototype for testing.
It's a steel genesis so probably 725 tubing or similar. I'm just going to do it myself for now.
Is it safe to drill holes in the down and seat tubes? I'd be using rivnuts
