For the riv-nuts I bought a kit from Harbor Freight for $20 that includes a tool that works on the pre-bulbed 1/4 20 riv nuts. I found that they wanted to spin in the holes when I tried to use the nut and bolt style of tool. the kit included some aluminum riv-nuts in several sizes that I won't be using for this application. Typical H.F. quality but good enough, I didn't want to spend $80 + for a professional tool.
