3/8" T-nuts. Anybody know a good source?

Hi Mike,

I know what its like trying to find what you need here in the UK, The hardware stores only

seem to carry rubbish from China nowadays.

Anyway, I found a hand full of these, they are old stock and made of quality steel. I think they are 8mm or 5/16"

If used with a hard grade of bolt, these should do the trick. If they will work for you, send me a PM and I'll mail

you what you need; no charge.

On the off chance it would work, I tried an M10, and it works. No damage on the screw thread is visible. Simple solution, but it works.

Thanks, but I am fine at the moment. My M10 replacement works just fine, so I am happy.

hi, looking for a small quantity of the above 3/8" T-nut. does anybody have a suggestion for a UK source?

[Stub Mandrel]

Google 'steel pronged nut' M10 will be easier to source than 3/8".

I am looking for a couple of 3/8" T-nuts like this

for a project I am working on. No store here seems to stock them. I have seen places where you can order them online, but they either require me to buy 300 (bit much ), or they do allow me to order just one or two (for a very reasonable price of $0.10 apiece), but then charge $68 dollars shipping ( I kid you not!). Does anybody know of a good source in the UK rather than in the US.

Isaac's of high wycombe, axminster of... axminster and b&q do them.

Ah, forgive me. I failed to check that they do them in 3/8.

Try running a 3/8 tap through a metric one I have done similiar with 6mm seemed to work ok but will not be as strong as original but there is a good depth of thread.

Shame on you....
