M3 is the smallest I've seen from my supplier but I don't care for lower ;D

Oops, sorry didn't read "rivet"

Try to order them on ebay from China for cheap if you can wait 2-3 weeks.

Thanks. Do I understand it right, that rivet nuts never are really flush to the layer, but habe a nasty little rim?
