Where can I buy threaded inserts in A4 ?

[Boo2]

Hi,

Can anyone give me any pointers as to where I can buy some threaded inserts similar to these but made in A4 stainless ? Size of internal threads to be 3 or 4mm.

I want to fit them into the batons into which my headlinings are fixed because the screw threads have predictably stripped and I want a proper solution (so am not considering tricke with superglue, epoxy, cocktail sticks etc). Flanged or non-flanged should both work fine, and other types could be considered if anyone knows any, but note that they have to be insertable from the open side as my batons are glued on so eg wondow interscrews won't work.


Many thanks,

Boo2

Inserts are probably overkill for this application, and A4 is definitely OTT. If the battens are wood and the holes are now too large for the screws consider boring and plugging with a hardwood plug and using new screws. If you pilot bore for the new screws and then use a bit of candle wax on the threads the screws should come in and out without damaging the new hole.

Just a suggestion!

I found these but it does not say if they are stainless or not. I assume they are.

A2 will be adequate for your use

Tried Googling for stainless nutserts ?

These any good? Some sizes in Stainless, do you need A4 below decks?

For a similar application, I drilled suitable sized holes in the battens and then glued in standard stainless nuts.
