Default Re: Nutserts

Aren't those afterthoughts great. A thoroughly boxed frame can have small access holes cut into it to use nuts or captive nuts. If you use threaded inserts, get the best ones you can. Some are not keyed or knurled and can spin free after they get crusty. Hanson and other suppliers carry the plated steel types but you will need the puller to set them. Keenserts are another possibility but they are threaded and may need more thickness than is available. Another thought would be welding in threaded bushings.
