Midwest Fasteners Nylon Plastic Screw Insert Nuts
Midwest Fasteners Nylon Plastic Screw Insert Nuts press into a hole in sheet metal, plastic or a body panel and give a screw something solid to bite into. Once the insert is seated, a sheet metal or tapping screw drives into it and holds a trim piece, panel or bracket in place, so you get a secure, removable fastening point without welding a nut or tapping threads into thin material. Choose from #8, #14, 1/4" Self-Tapping and 4 Prong styles on this one page to match the screw and the hole you are working with.
