M8x1.25 Time-sert install tool - Want to borrow one

I'm looking for a time-sert install tool, so I can use it on a single bolt-hole. Does anyone have the install kit that fits a M8x1.25 bolt? Any chance you want to lend it out, possibly for a nominal fee? I don't want to put a helicoil in (especially because the bolt's an inch long and the longest helicoils I've seen locally are 1/4-inch long), and because I don't like helicoils.

I think I could fudge the install tool with an M8 bolt and a couple washers, but the shoulder cutting tool might be a problem. I could maybe just counter-drill with a larger bit and do a test install or two.

Thanks!
Will
