Modifying Tube Socket Brackets

Recommended Posts

Ok, I have a quick question.

So, I have some of these sockets, with brackets:

I need to somehow embed a nut into the bracket, so I can then secure them to the top of the chassis. I won't have access to the bottom of the socket.

I don't know much about PEM nuts, but I was wondering if something like that might work. I'm leary to try an adhesive, or soldering, etc. but maybe it might work, but I'd prefer a better solution.

If someone wants to make me a bracket, that's a different story, but let's assume that's not a viable option either.

mikhail had a version that looked just like that, and did in fact fit the teflon sockets, and

it was threaded. So go looking for some russian junk and you should be able to find them.

Or spotweld the nuts onto the frame.

Or use female threaded inserts of the right size, a star washer and a brass washer and solder

to hold things in place.

edit: i tried some pems nuts and they work great if you have the right size, and

something to use as a bench press to put them in straight.
