Use a longish bolt screwed into the insert, then a decent washer, which needs to be a nice tight fit on the bolt, then a nut on the bolt.

Hold the head of the bolt still, and then tighten the nut down onto the washer, and pulling the back of the insert up as you tighten.
Its a slow way of doing it, but it does work.

It's a good few months ago since I asked the question, and have only recently got around to putting it into practice, but, IT WORKS.

I did mention that we wouldn't be using them TOO many times per year. Hence the delay regarding any feedback.

Your advice is sincerely appreciated.
