I need to buy some of those flower-shaped inserts that go into aluminum tubes and allow you to screw a bolt into the tube. My tubes are 2" O.D. with 0.049" walls. I need seven of the inserts with threads for 1/4-20 bolts. Does anyone know where I can get these? Thanks.

Hi:
I believe McMaster-Carr carries them. I got some with a kit from www.dobstuff.com Mine were designed for a somewhat thinner wall tube so they were a bit tricky to install, I believe my tubing was also 2 inch with a 0.050 wall...
So far so good.
The only company I was able to find that sold ones specifically for 2 inch with the 0.050" wall was a manufacturer who obviously did not sell quantities of less than a 1000 or so.
