I've got a bolt that goes into the frame that holds my GPR damper base in place. It stripped. I tapped out the hole with a slightly larger SAE bolt and it seemed ok. But, while at Main I lost the bolt. The main problem with this location is the frame is only 1/8th inch thick or so and there is not alot of meat for a bolt to grab onto. I tried looking at McMaster-Carr's online catalog and they have a rivet nut that appears might be a solution:
The also have inserts but they don't look to hold onto the hole like this one. Anyone have any thoughts on this or can steer me in another direction?
