I admit to be a bit lazy but is there a die for a habd rivet squeezer that allows you to set two rivets at the same time for nut plates? I do quite a few and the standard kits dies are just to fat to get squarely on the rivet.... then i have to do it again.

Any sources ?
 
buy the narrow nut plate die
I did a search and couldn't locate this. Do you have a direct link?

Buying a normal squeezer die and hacking it would seem to cost (time, acquisition) as buying off the shelf. Also I'd need like 4-5 sets. Home, hangar, line bag, tool cart, spare.
 
Flat squeeze sets are less than 8$ each and you can grind to fit your needs. Takes about 3-5 minutes to grind one down on a decent grinder. Used to do it all the time at work for oddball locations.

Most any place that sells squeezer dies sells small-diameter flush dies, either individually or as part of a set.
Here's an example, the proof is left to the reader:

I got one or two as part of a set from Spruce, but I've also ground a couple for different circumstances. Grinding is faster and cheaper IME.

Nauga,
and the daily grind
 
I used an air compressor pneumatic squeezer to set nut plates back in the day. Of course, it was my AnPs. Those things are expensive!
