Like a _blind_ insert pop-rivet, but with female screw threads? ...Jim Thompson

Often called Riv-nuts, as well. Oh, and BTW, even Harbor Freight carries them.

Yeah, we use them in aircraft a lot. If you only need a few, you can get them by going to your small local airport fixit shop and buying them from the mechanic working there. The usual name is Cherry rivnut.

For large quantities of aircraft quality you can get them from Chief Aircraft (Grant's Pass Oregon) or Aircraft Spruce and Supply (Chino CA) in bulk. Several dozen others, but I use these two a lot.

Beware of the hardware store variety as the breakoff tangs tend to drop into the airframe and find their way to a critical moving mechanism.

Give me your exact location in Phoenix and I'll look up the closest airport with a fixit shop.

Jim
