CudBucket Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I just saw a pic of the cavity on a Carvin CT and they use brass threaded inserts for the screws that hold the cavity cover on. I want to do this on mine. Anyone know where I could get such small inserts? I did a search but only came up with a web site in England and the inserts they have are not what I'm looking for. Thanks.

VanKirk Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I found this thread after I used "threaded inserts" in the search function. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CudBucket Posted March 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Thanks but those are too big. I found them as well. I only have a 1/4" recess lip to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nollock Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) http://fastener-express.com/ search site for threaded insert, has down to 2-56 which i think is about 2mm diam. http://www.modelfixings.co.uk/threaded_inserts.htm smallest they have is 4mm, but might be worth emailing them cause they dont list everything and will try to find what you want if needed. chris Edited March 27, 2005 by nollock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassman Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Both Home Depot and Lowes have them, but their's may be too big for you to use on such a narrow area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
