Funny you should mention super glue as this guy glues the off cut back on.

I've probably got a few hundred of each size in stock. we used to use them by the 5000 box bought direct from Avdel. I have a hand setting tool for M4 ones as well. the tool also corrugates the flange slightly to resist spinning. Spinning in the hole is their main failing if not set correctly or cross threaded. Once they spin they need drilling out.
The correct way to set them is insert the thread of the insert tool then the tool pulls the bolt like a pop rivet gun would. Winding them set with the bolt soon damages the threads - not that it matters for a few nuts.

I was enjoying this up until you wrote that. Now I am hungry. Please don't tell me you will wash it down with a nice bottled real ale.

Robert wrote:Yes.
Do you think your brackets will be strong enough? just thinking ali bends easy if you knock it...
