I went looking for these at home depot and although it says they had some in stock, I was unable to find them.  So then I went to ace (god I love ace) and found similar.  #4 4-40 threaded inserts.  This type has flat head screwdriver grooves at the top and threads into the body as opposed to expanding.  I believe they were $.60 ea and the #4 1" brass screws I bought were $.33 ea.  Just wanted to let those in need know.

+1 for Ace Hardware.  Our store here in Helena, MT is known for stocking all of those hard to find bits. 

Another great tutorial, thank you!

I am really getting a lot out of these how-to write ups. Thank you for taking the time to document them here!
