Threaded inserts?
Our design team is working on a west-coast inspired chassis/drivetrain. We are currently planning on using aluminum tubing with 1/8” wall. In past seasons, we used backer plates or support tubes for threads. We are interested in using some sort of threaded inserts. Possibly the clinching (PEM) variety...

Does anyone use threaded inserts? If so, how do you guys install them? Any problems?

Thanks,
Eric
