Default Need workaround for skybolt fasteners

I don't have the tool to compress the studs so that they can be inserted in the grommets. I was planning to make one from vice grips but somebody borrowed my tig welder. Anybody have a MacGuiver type trick to install the grommets without that tool?

If you only need it for a week or two, I will mail you mine to borrow. Email me if you want it.
