I have this one, and it works pretty well.

On my 250, the subframe used 8 mm inserts, with 10 mm bolt heads.  The side panels are 6 mm inserts, 8 mm head.

My 97 500 uses 6mm bolts on seat and side panels to sub frame. You can also by the rivets themselves from an OEM parts distributor but you still need the tool to install them.
